Check the fluid level in the
windshield washer reservoir at least
monthly during normal use. When
you refill the reservoir, clean
the edges of the windshield wiper
blades with windshield washer fluid
on a clean cloth. This will help to
condition the blade edges.
Fill the reservoir with a good-quality
windshield washer fluid. This
increases the cleaning capability and
prevents freezing in cold weather.
The
low washer
level indicator comes on when the
level is low (see page ).
Check the f luid level by removing
the cap and looking at the level
gauge. 64

Do not use engine antif reeze or a
