Windshield Washer Fluid
Check that there is washer fluid in the tank by looking at the washer fluid level gauge which is attached to the cap of the washer fluid tank. If the fluid level is near “E” mark, refill it.
WARNING:
Do not use “anti-freeze” solution in
the windshield washer reservoir. This
can severely impair visibility when
sprayed on the windshield, and also
damage your vehicle’s paint.
CAUTION:
Damage may result if the washer
motor is operated with no fluid in the
washer tank.
Use a good quality windshield washer fluid, diluted with water as necessary.
