Checking the Washer Fluid
Level
Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces-
sary. Plain water may be used if wash-
er fluid is not available. However, use
washer solvent with antifreeze char-
acteristics in cold climates to preventfreezing.
OAEE076004 To prevent serious injury or
death, take the following safetyprecautions when using washerfluid:
Do not use coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Coolant can severely obscure
visibility when sprayed on the
windshield and may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in
an accident or damage to paint
and body trim.
Do not allow sparks or flame to contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Washer
fluid may contain alcohol and
can be flammable.
Do not drink washer fluid and
avoid contact with skin. Washerfluid is harmful to humans andanimals.
Keep washer fluid away from
children and animals.
