Windshield Washer Fluid
What to Use
When adding windshield washer fluid, be sure to
read the manufacturer’s instructions before
use. If operating your vehicle in an area where the
temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid
that has sufficient protection against freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
When the windshield washer fluid reservoir is low,
a WASHER FLUID LOW ADD FLUID message
will be displayed on the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 244 for more information.
Open the cap with the
washer symbol on it.
Add washer fluid
until the tank is full. See
Engine Compartment
Overview on page 396
for reservoir location.
Notice:
• When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions
for adding water.
• Do not mix water with ready-to-use washer
fluid. Water can cause the solution to
freeze and damage your washer fluid tank
and other parts of the washer system.
Also, water does not clean as well
as washer fluid.
• Fill the washer fluid tank only
three-quarters full when it is very cold.
This allows for fluid expansion if freezing
occurs, which could damage the tank if it is
completely full.
• Do not use engine coolant (antifreeze) in
your windshield washer. It can damage
the vehicle’s windshield washer system
and paint.
