Washer Fluid
▼Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WARNING
Use only windscreen washer fluid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windscreen, it will dirty the
windscreen, affect your visibility, and
could result in an accident.
Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir; add fluid if necessary.
The top of the float should be between
F and E.
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.
Body Lubrication
▼Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and bonnet hinges and locks,
should be lubricated each time the
engine oil is changed. Use a
nonfreezing lubricant on locks during
cold weather.
Make sure the bonnet's secondary
latch keeps the bonnet from opening
when the primary latch is released.
