2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE washer fluid

NOTE:Since the rain sensor is designed to detect
moisture, road spray, smashed bugs, and moisture from
passing trucks may occasionally cause the wipers to cycle
if the lever is in AUTO. Also, manual intervention may be
necessary under certain conditions: Additional wipes
may be desired, in foggy/misty mornings, where con-
densation builds up very slowly on the windshield, or
when water accumulated on the roof of the vehicle runs
down the windshield, but not over the sensor.
Fewer wipes and/or washer fluid may be desired when
salty road spray is encountered, where the operator may
want to turn the ªAutoº feature off and use the ªWashº
and/or ªMistº functions.CAUTION!
Turn the wiper lever to the OFF position to avoid
wiper damage when driving through an automatic
car wash.
WARNING!
Turn the wiper lever to the OFF position when
cleaning your windshield to avoid injury.

If the liftgate flipper glass is open, connection to the rear
window wiper is interrupted preventing activation of the
rear wiper blade. When the liftgate flipper glass is closed,
the rear wiper switch or the ignition switch needs to be
turned OFF and ON to restart the rear wiper.
Adding Washer Fluid
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the
rear window washer 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 radia-
tor antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds
to flush out the residual water.
Rear Window Defroster
In the lower left of the climate control panel is a
push button for rear window defrosting. An am-
ber indicator in the push button will light when the
defroster is turned on. Push again to turn off the defroster
prior to an automatic time-out.

attention should also be given to hood latching compo-
nents to insure proper function. When performing other
underhood services, the hood latch, release mechanism
and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a
year, preferably in the fall and spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant such as MopartLock
Cylinder Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder.
Windshield Wiper Blades
The rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield
should be cleaned periodically with a sponge or soft cloth
and a mild nonabrasive cleaner to remove accumulations
of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods
may cause deterioration of the wiper blades. Always use
washer fluid when using the wipers to remove salt or dirt
from a dry windshield.Avoid using the wiper blades to wipe frost or ice from the
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with
petroleum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
Windshield Washers Ð Front and Rear
On vehicles equipped with a Vehicle Information Center,
the low washer fluid level will be indicated. When the
sensor detects a low fluid level, the windshield will light
on the vehicle graphic outline and the ªWasher Fluid
Lowº message will be displayed.
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the
rear window washer 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 radia-
tor antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds
to flush out the residual water.
