WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Pull the lever toward you to
operate the windshield washers.
When you release the lever, the wipers
operate for a short time. When activated, a
courtesy wipe occurs a short time after the
wipers stop to clear any remaining washer
fluid.
Note: You can switch courtesy wipe on or
off in the information display. See
Information Messages (page 122). Note:
Do not operate the washers when the
washer reservoir is empty. This could cause
the washer pump to overheat.
Front Camera Washer
(If Equipped)
Operating the windshield washer also turns
on the front camera washer. REAR WINDOW WIPER AND
WASHERS

Liftgate Ajar
Illuminates when the liftgate is not
completely closed.
Low Beam Malfunction Warning It will illuminate when there is a
malfunction with the low beam
headlamp bulb.
Low Fuel Level Warning Lamp If it illuminates when you are
driving, refuel as soon as possible.
Low Tire Pressure Warning Lamp It illuminates when your tire
pressure is low. If the lamp remains
on with the engine running or
when driving, check the tire pressure as soon
as possible. It also illuminates momentarily
when you switch the ignition on to confirm
the lamp is functional. If it does not illuminate
when you switch the ignition on, or begins
to flash at any time, have the system checked
by your authorized dealer. Low Washer Fluid Level Warning Lamp It illuminates when the washer fluid
is low.
Oil Pressure Warning Lamp It illuminates when you switch the
ignition on.
If it illuminates when the engine is
running this indicates a malfunction. Stop
your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so
and switch the engine off. Check the engine
oil level. If the oil level is sufficient, this
indicates a system malfunction. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
See Engine Oil Check (page 327).
Parking Lamps It illuminates when you switch the
parking lamps on.Powertrain Fault Illuminates when the system
detects a powertrain or an AWD
fault. Contact an authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
Rear Fog Lamp Indicator
(If Equipped) It illuminates when you switch the
rear fog lamps on.
Service Engine Soon If it illuminates when the engine is
running this indicates a
malfunction. The On Board
Diagnostics system has detected a
malfunction of the vehicle emission control
system. If it flashes, engine misfire may be
occurring. Increased exhaust gas
temperatures could damage the catalytic
converter or other vehicle components.
Avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration
and have your vehicle serviced immediately.

Note:
Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable. Take care not to put
engine coolant in the windshield washer fluid
reservoir or windshield washer fluid in the
engine coolant reservoir.
Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling
system sealants, or non-specified additives
as they can cause damage to the engine
cooling or heating systems. Resulting
component damage may not be covered by
the vehicle Warranty.
It is very important to use prediluted coolant
approved to the correct specification in order
to avoid plugging the small passageways in
the engine cooling system. See Capacities
and Specifications (page 385). Do not mix
different colors or types of coolant in your
vehicle. Mixing of engine coolants or using
an incorrect coolant may harm the engine or
cooling system components and may not be
covered by the vehicle Warranty. Note:
If prediluted coolant is not available,
use the approved concentrated coolant
diluting it to 50/50 with distilled water.
See
Capacities and Specifications (page 385).
Using water that has not been deionised
may contribute to deposit formation,
corrosion and plugging of the small cooling
system passageways.
Note: Coolants marketed for all makes and
models may not be approved to our
specifications and may cause damage to
the cooling system. Resulting component
damage may not be covered by the vehicle
Warranty.
If the coolant level is at or below the
minimum mark, add prediluted coolant
immediately.
To top up the coolant level do the following:
1. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure escapes as you unscrew the cap.
2. Add prediluted coolant approved to the correct specification. See Capacities and
Specifications
(page 385).
3. Add enough prediluted coolant to reach
the correct level. 4. Replace the coolant reservoir cap. Turn
the cap clockwise until it contacts the
hard stop.
5. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir the next few times you drive
your vehicle. If necessary, add enough
prediluted engine coolant to bring the
coolant level to the correct level.
If you have to add more than
1.1 qt (1 L) of
engine coolant per month, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. Operating an
engine with a low level of coolant can result
in engine overheating and possible engine
damage.
In case of emergency, you can add a large
amount of water without engine coolant in
order to reach a vehicle service location. In
this instance, qualified personnel:
1. Must drain the cooling system.
2. Chemically clean the coolant system.
3. Refill with engine coolant as soon as possible.
Water alone, without engine coolant, can
cause engine damage from corrosion,
overheating or freezing.

Nautilus (CD9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201907, First-Printing Maintenance
Note:
If the brake fluid level is below the MIN
mark or above the MAX mark, have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Note: To avoid fluid contamination, the
reservoir cap must remain in place and fully
tight, unless you are adding fluid.
Only use fluid that meets our specifications.
See
Capacities and Specifications (page
385).
Brake Fluid Service Interval
Brake fluid absorbs water over time which
degrades the effectiveness of the brake fluid.
Change the brake fluid at the specified
intervals to prevent degraded braking
performance.
For detailed interval information, see
Scheduled Maintenance in your Owner's
Manual or your local maintenance guide. WASHER FLUID CHECK WARNING:
If you operate your
vehicle in temperatures below 41.0°F (5°C),
use washer fluid with antifreeze protection.
Failure to use washer fluid with antifreeze
protection in cold weather could result in
impaired windshield vision and increase
the risk of injury or accident.
Note: The front and rear washer systems
are supplied from the same reservoir.
Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level is low.
Only use a washer fluid that meets our
specifications.
See Capacities and
Specifications (page 385).
State or local regulations on volatile organic
compounds may restrict the use of methanol,
a common windshield washer antifreeze
additive. Washer fluids containing
non-methanol antifreeze agents should be
used only if they provide cold weather
protection without damaging the vehicle ’s
paint finish, wiper blades or washer system. FUEL FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime fuel
filter that is integrated with the fuel tank.
Regular maintenance or replacement is not
needed.
CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY
WARNING:
Batteries normally
produce explosive gases which can cause
personal injury. Therefore, do not allow
flames, sparks or lighted substances to
come near the battery. When working near
the battery, always shield your face and
protect your eyes. Always provide correct
ventilation. WARNING:
When lifting a
plastic-cased battery, excessive pressure
on the end walls could cause acid to flow
through the vent caps, resulting in personal
injury and damage to the vehicle or battery.
Lift the battery with a battery carrier or with
your hands on opposite corners.
