Washer Fluid Level Inspection

Check the fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir and add fluid if necessary. If washer fluid is not available, water can be used. However, use washer solvent with antifreeze properties in cold climates to prevent freezing.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death, observe the following precautions when using washer fluid:

  • Do not use engine coolant or antifreeze in the washer fluid reservoir. Engine coolant may severely reduce visibility when sprayed on the windshield and may cause loss of vehicle control, resulting in an accident, or damage to body paint and trim.
  • Keep sparks and flames away from washer fluid or the washer fluid reservoir. Washer fluid may contain alcohol and may be flammable.
  • Do not drink washer fluid and avoid contact with skin. Washer fluid is harmful to humans and animals.
  • Keep washer fluid away from children and animals.
