Maintenance and Care Owner Maintenance Washer Fluid M Inspecting Washer Fluid Level Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir; add fluid if necessary. 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. Using Washer Fluid Without Antifreeze 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 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. NOTE Front and rear washer fluid is supplied from the same reservoir. 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. 8-18
