FILLING UP THE COOLANT
RESERVOIRS
CAUTION: If persistent coolant loss is
noticed, seek qualified assistance
immediately.
Fill the reservoir to the upper level indicator
mark using only a 50% mix of water and
approved antifreeze. See “Approved Fluids
and Capacities” on page 112.
Note: In an emergency, and only if the
approved antifreeze is unavailable, fill the
cooling system with clean water, but be
aware of the resultant reduction in freeze
protection.
Ensure the cap is tightened fully after
refilling is complete by turning the cap until
the ratchet cap clicks.
WASHER FLUID
WARNING: Some windshield washer
products are flammable, particularly
in undiluted concentrations. Do not allow
windshield washer fluid to come into
contact with open flames or sources of
ignition.
WARNING: If the vehicle is operated
in temperatures below 4°C (40°F),
use a washer fluid with frost protection. In
cold weather, failure to use a windshield
washer fluid with frost protection could
result in impaired vision and an unsafe
driving condition.
WARNING: Washer fluid contains
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. WASH
HANDS AFTER HANDLING. See California
Proposition 65 Warning 0227.
CAUTION: Body panels may suffer
discoloration as a result of windshield
washer fluid spillage. Take care to avoid
spillage, particularly if an undiluted or high
concentration is being used. If spillage
occurs, wash the affected area
immediately with water.
The washer reservoir supplies both the
windshield and headlamp washer jets.
Check and fill up the reservoir level monthly
or more frequently in high use conditions.
If the quantity of fluid remaining in the
washer reservoir drops to less than one
liter, a message will be displayed on the
touchscreen diagnostic screen.
Operate the washers periodically to check
that the nozzles are clear and properly
directed.
FILLING UP THE WASHER RESERVOIR
Note: National or local regulations may
restrict the use of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs) which are commonly
used as antifreeze agents in washer fluid. A
washer fluid with limited VOC content
should be used only if it provides adequate
freeze resistance for all climates in which
the vehicle is operated.
1. Clean the filler cap before opening to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
2. Open the filler cap.
3. Fill the reservoir with an approved fluid
until the fluid is visible just below the
filler neck. In cold climates, always fill up
with windshield washer fluid to prevent
freezing.
4. Install the filler cap.
