Washer Fluid
What to Use
When windshield washer fluid
is needed, be sure to read the
manufacturer's instructions
before use. If operating the
vehicle in an area where the
temperature may fall below
freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against
freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid
until the tank is full. See
Engine Compartment
Overview

This can cause the wiper
blades to chatter or skip.

(antifreeze) in the
windshield washer. It can
damage the windshield
washer system and paint.

should be inspected for wear
or cracking.

assembly on a regular basis or
when worn. For proper
windshield wiper blade length

Replacement Parts 0477.

Allowing the wiper arm to
touch the windshield when
no wiper blade is installed
could damage the
windshield. Any damage that
occurs would not be
covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not allow the
wiper arm to touch the
windshield.
To replace the wiper blade
assembly: 1. Pull the windshield wiper
assembly away from the
windshield. The passenger
side wiper arm has limited
travel.
2. Lift up on the latch in themiddle of the wiper blade
where the wiper arm
attaches.

toward the windshield far
enough to release it from
the J-hooked end of the

The vehicle may have a
shutter system designed to
help improve fuel economy.
Always keep the shutter
system clear of debris, snow
and ice. If the check engine
light is activated, please check
to see if the shutter system is
clear of debris, snow or ice.
Windshield and Wiper
Blades
Clean the outside of the
windshield with glass cleaner.
Clean rubber wiper blades
using a lint-free cloth or paper
towel soaked with windshield
washer fluid or a mild
detergent. Wash the
windshield thoroughly when
cleaning the blades. Bugs,
road grime, sap, and a buildup
of vehicle wash/wax
treatments may cause wiper
streaking.
Replace the wiper blades if
they are worn or damaged.
Damage can be caused byextreme dusty conditions,
sand, salt, heat, sun, snow,
and ice.
Weatherstrips
Apply weatherstrip lubricant
on weatherstrips to make
them last longer, seal better,
and not stick or squeak.
Lubricate weatherstrips at
least once a year. Hot, dry
climates may require more
frequent application. Black
marks from rubber material on
painted surfaces can be
removed by rubbing with a
clean cloth. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants
0476.
Tires
Use a stiff brush with tire
cleaner to clean the tires.
Caution
Using petroleum-based tire
dressing products on the
vehicle may damage the
paint finish and/or tires.
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
When applying a tire
dressing, always wipe off
any overspray from all
painted surfaces on the
vehicle.
Wheels and Wheel Trim
Use a soft, clean cloth with
mild soap and water to clean
the wheels. After rinsing
thoroughly with clean water,
dry with a soft, clean towel.
A wax may then be applied.
Caution
Chrome wheels and chrome
wheel trim may be damaged
if the vehicle is not washed
after driving on roads that
have been sprayed with
magnesium chloride or
calcium chloride. These are
used on roads for conditions
such as dust control. Always
wash the chrome with soap
and water after exposure.
