Pour coolant into the reserve tank.

Fill it to halfway between the MAX

and MIN marks. Put the cap back

on the reserve tank.

Do not add any rust inhibitors or

other additives to your vehicle’s

cooling system. They may not be

compatible with the coolant or

engine components.

Check the fluid level in the

windshield washer reservoir at least

monthly during normal use.

If the washer fluid is low, a

‘‘WASHER FLUID LOW’’ message

appears on the multi-information

display.

Fill the reservoir with a good-quality

windshield washer fluid. This

increases the cleaning capability and

prevents freezing in cold weather.

When you refill the reservoir, clean

the edges of the windshield wiper

blades with windshield washer fluid

on a clean cloth. This will help to

condition the blade edges.
