When using concentrated washer fluid, follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid.
Water can cause the solution to freeze and
damage your washer fluid tank and other parts of
the washer system.
Also,
water doesn’t clean as
well as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only three-quarters full
when it’s very cold. This allows for expansion if
freezing occurs, which could damage the tank if
it
is completely full.
Don’t use engine coolant (antifreeze) in your
windshield washer.
It
can damage your washer
system and paint.
