Honda CR-V: Windshield Washers
Check the fluid level in the
windshield washer reservoir at least
monthly during normal use.

Check the fluid level by removing
the cap and looking at the level
gauge.
On Canadian models: The low washer
level indicator comes on when the
level is low.
Fill the reservoir with a good-quality
windshield washer fluid. This
increases the cleaning capability and
prevents freezing in cold weather.
When you refill the reservoir, clean
the edges of the windshield wiper
blades with windshield washer fluid
on a clean cloth. This will help to
condition the blade edges.

Do not use engine antif reeze or a
vinegar/water solution in the
windshield washer reservoir. Antif reeze
can damage your vehicle’s paint, while
a vinegar/water solution can damage
the windshield washer pump. Use only
commercially-available windshield
washer f luid.
