Inspecting Washer Fluid Level

Check the level of the windshield washer
fluid every time you stop for fuel. The
reservoir for washer fluid is located in the
engine compartment.

Before adding fluid, make sure the engine
is turned off. Use special windshield
washer fluid, rather than plain water,
because these special fluids contain addi-
tives that dissolve road grime. Also,
washer fluid will not freeze in cold
weather.

If you choose to use a windshield wash-
ing solution that must be mixed, follow
the manufacturer’s mixing instructions.
Improperly mixed solutions may freeze
unexpectedly.
