Inspecting Washer Fluid Level

Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid 
reservoir; add fluid if necessary.

Use plain water if washer fluid is 
unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold weather 
to prevent it from freezing.

All moving points of the body, such as 
door and hood hinges and locks, should 
be lubricated each time the engine oil is 
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on 
locks during cold weather.

Make sure the engine hood’s secondary 
latch keeps the hood from opening when 
the primary latch is released.

Washer Fluid

Substitute Washer Fluid:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer 
fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the 
windshield, it will dirty the 
windshield, affect your visibility, and 
could result in an accident. Use only 
windshield washer fluid or plain 
water in the reservoir.
