the MAX marks using a clean funnel and
brake fluid meeting specification DOT4.

painted surfaces. Immediately soak up
any spills with an absorbent cloth and

of car shampoo and water.
Replacing brake fluid
The brake fluid should be replaced every 2
years or every 24,000 miles, whichever comes
sooner.
Checking Washer Fluid
Check the level of the washer fluid monthly, or
more frequently if you use it often.
If the quantity of fluid remaining
in the washer reservoir drops below
the recommended level, an indicator
will be displayed on the Instrument
Cluster. This will be accompanied by a
notification message.
Operate the washers periodically to check that
the nozzles are clear and properly directed.
If a washer jet performs poorly, see Cleaning
Washer Jets.
Topping off washer fluid
WARNING: In temperatures below
4°C (39°F), use a washer fluid with
deicer. In cold weather, using a washer
fluid without deicer can cause the
fluid to freeze on contact with the
windshield, impairing visibility. .
Note: Some national or local regulations restrict
the use of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
VOCs are commonly used as antifreeze in
washer fluid. Use a washer fluid with limited
VOC content only if it provides adequate freeze
resistance for all climates in which you drive.

4. Close the filler cap.
CAUTION: Washer fluid can damage
painted surfaces. Wipe up any spills
immediately with an absorbent cloth
and wash the affected area with water.
