Washer Fluid Level Inspection

Check the washer fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir and add fluid if necessary.

If washer fluid is not available, plain water may be used. However, in cold climates, use a washer solvent with antifreeze properties to prevent freezing.

WARNING - Coolant

  • Do not add engine coolant or antifreeze to the washer fluid reservoir.
  • Engine coolant can severely impair visibility when sprayed onto the windshield and may cause loss of vehicle control or damage to paint and body trim.
  • Windshield washer fluids contain alcohol and may ignite under certain conditions. Keep sparks and flames away from the washer fluid or washer fluid reservoir. Damage to the vehicle or injury to occupants may occur.
  • Windshield washer fluid is poisonous to humans and animals. Do not drink, and avoid contact with windshield washer fluid. Serious injury or death may occur.
