■When adding washer fluid
Do not add washer fluid when the
engine is hot or running as washer fluid contains alcohol and may catch
fire if spilled on the engine, etc.
NOTICE
■Do not use any fluid other than
washer fluid
Do not use soapy water or engine antifreeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on the
vehicle’s painted surfaces, as well as damaging the pump leading to prob-
lems of the washer fluid not spraying.
■Diluting washer fluid
Dilute washer fluid with water as nec-
essary.
Refer to the freezing temperatures listed on the label of the washer fluid
bottle.
