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.

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.

Using Washer Fluid Without Anti-
freeze Protection in Cold Weather:
Operating your vehicle in 
temperatures below 4 degrees C (40 
degrees F) using washer fluid without 
anti-freeze protection is dangerous as 
it could cause impaired windshield 
vision and result in an accident. In 
cold weather, always use washer fluid 
with anti-freeze protection.

NOTE

State or local regulations may restrict 
the use of volatile organic compounds 
(VOCs), which are commonly used as 
anti-freeze agents in washer fluid. A 
washer fluid with limited VOC content 
should be used only if it provides 
adequate freeze resistance for all 
regions and climates in which the 
vehicle will be operated.
