Window Washer Fluid
Add washer fluid as necessary. Pour it carefully, and do not overflow the reservoir.
Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield washer reservoir.
Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A vinegar/water solution can damage the
windshield washer pump.
For Jump starting, see page 108 .
Checking the Battery
The battery condition is monitored by the sensor on the negative terminal. If there is
a problem with the sensor, have your vehicle checked by a dealer. Check the battery
terminals monthly for corrosion.
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or
seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.

Changing Wiper Blades
If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them first with a paper
towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has deteriorated, you should
change the wiper blades.
1. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the passenger side.
2. Place a cloth on the edge of the lock tab. Push the lock tab
up with a flat-tip screwdriver.
3. Slide the blade from the wiper arm.
4. Slide the wiper blade out from its holder by pulling the
tabbed end out.
5. Remove the retainers from the rubber blade that has been
removed, and mount to a new rubber blade. Correctly
align the rubber protrusion and the retainer grooves.
6. Slide the new wiper blade onto the holder from the
bottom end. The tab on the holder should fit in the indent
of the wiper blade.
7. Slide the wiper blade onto the wiper arm, then push down
the lock tab.
8. Lower the passenger side wiper arm first, then the driver
side.
