Windshield washers, automatic transmission fluid – Acura 2008 RL User Manual
Page 410
Check the fluid level in the
windshield washer reservoir at least
monthly during normal use.
Check the fluid level with the engine
at normal operating temperature.
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 them.
If the washer fluid is low, a
‘‘WASHER FLUID LOW’’ message
appears on the multi-information
display.
Park the vehicle on level ground.
Start the engine, let it run until the
radiator fan comes on, then shut
off the engine. For accurate
results, wait about 60 seconds (but
no longer than 90 seconds) before
doing step 2.
Remove the dipstick (yellow loop)
from the transmission, and wipe it
with a clean cloth.
