antifreeze, according to the manufacturer's rec‐

Adding washer fluid
Reverse gear
Only add washer fluid when the engine is

Select only when the vehicle is stationary. When
the gearshift lever is pressed to the left, a slight
resistance needs to be overcome.
Otherwise, there is the danger of fire and a risk
to personal safety if the fluid is spilled.◀
