Windshield washer fluid

CAUTION

Never use engine coolant as washer

fluid because it could cause paint

damage.

If you spray washer fluid on the windshield

but the windshield washer fluid warning

light illuminates or the supply of washer

fluid drops, check the level of washer fluid

in the tank.

Washer fluid level gauge

Remove the washer tank filler cap, then

check the fluid level indicated by the level

gauge (attached to the inside of the cap).

If the level is near the “Low” mark, add

fluid until it reaches the “Hi” level on the

level gauge.

After adding fluid, make sure the wind-

shield washer fluid warning light has

turned off.

Use windshield washer fluid. If windshield

washer fluid is unavailable use clean

water.

In areas where water freezes in winter,

use an anti-freeze type windshield washer

fluid. SUBARU Windshield Washer Fluid
