fluid by the same reservoir.

appropriate intervals.
Fill with water and, if required, with a washer
antifreeze, according to manufacturer's recom-
mendations.
Do not use the washers if there is any
danger that the fluid will freeze on the
windshield. If you do, your vision could be
obscured. Antifreeze should therefore be
added to the fluid, refer to Washer fluid.
