Washer fluid
僅 When changing and adding brake
fluid, handle it carefully. Do not let it
come in contact with your eyes. If
brake fluid should come in contact
with your eyes, immediately flush
them with a large quantity of fresh tap
water. Have your eyes examined by a
doctor as soon as possible.
Do not allow brake fluid to contact the
vehicle's body paint, as paint damage
will result. Brake fluid, which has been
exposed to open air for an extended
time should never be used as its quality
cannot be guaranteed. It should be
properly disposed. Don't put in the
wrong kind of fluid. A few drops of min
-
eral-based oil in your brake system can
damage brake system parts.

Checking the washer fluid level
Operation
僅 Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces
-
sary. Plain water may be used if
washer fluid is not available.
僅 However, use washer solvent with
antifreeze characteristics in cold cli
-
mates to prevent freezing.
The reservoir is translucent so that you
can check the level with a quick visual
inspection.
僅 Do not use coolant or antifreeze in the
washer fluid reservoir.
僅 Coolant can severely obscure visibility
when sprayed on the windshield and
may cause loss of vehicle control or
damage to paint and body trim.
僅 Windshield Washer fluid agents con
-
tain some amounts of alcohol and can
be flammable under certain circum
-
stances. Do not allow sparks or flame
to contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Damage to the
vehicle or occupants could occur.
僅 Windshield washer fluid is poisonous
to humans and animals. Do not drink
and avoid contacting windshield
washer fluid. Serious injury or death
could occur.
