Fully insert the dipstick. When adding fluid, inspect with the dipstick to make sure it doesn't pass full. NOTE WARNING 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. Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir; add fluid if necessary. Inspect both sides of the dipstick for accurate reading. The top of the float should be between FULL and LOW. Use plain water if washer fluid is unavailable. But use only washer fluid in cold weather to prevent it from freezing. 8-16 Form No. 8Q44-EA-01K
