Do not use engine antifreeze or
a vinegar/water solution in the

windshield washer reservoir.

Antifreeze can damage your vehicle's paint, while a
vinegar/water solution can
damage the windshield washer
pump. Use only commercially available windshield washer fluid.

In cold weather, warm the

windshield with the defrosters

before using the washers. This

will help prevent icing of the

windshield that may block your

vision.
