SERVICE INFORMATION
Windshield washers play an important part in driver safety and convenience. When Mother Nature gets nasty, they can rack up a lot of usage and, consequently, a lot of wear and tear. Here are some handy tips to ensure the washer system in your customer's vehicle is in top operating condition:
- Check the washer fluid level . Make sure the washer bottle is filled to the proper level. If you need to add fluid, always use Honda Windshield Washer Concentrate Cleaner & Antifreeze (P/N 08798-9025, H/C 6864045). Don't use plain water; it's just not a very good cleaner. The Honda washer fluid also works as an antifreeze so the washer bottle doesn't freeze up in cold weather.
- Check the washer fluid concentration . Use a hydrometer, and adjust the washer fluid concentration level if needed. You'll find the concentrate mixture levels listed on the Honda bottle.
- Check the washer nozzle aim . Make sure the washer nozzles are aimed correctly.
