UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 163 Adding Washer Fluid The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the rear window washer (if equipped) is shared. It is located in the front of the engine compartment on the passenger side and should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radiator antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds to flush out the residual water. Rear Window Defroster The pushbutton is located on the bottom right side of the blower control knob. Press this button to turn on the rear window defroster. An amber light shows that the defroster is on. The defroster will automatically turn off after approximately ten minutes. For an additional five minutes of operation, press the button again. To prevent excessive battery drain, use the defroster only when the engine is operating. 3 Rear Wiper Heater Grid
