cycles.

If the washer does not work, check the washer fluid level. If the fluid level is not sufficient, you will need to add appropriate non-abrasive windshield washer fluid to the washer reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in the front of the engine compartment on the passenger side.
NOTICE
To prevent possible damage to the washer
pump, do not operate the washer
when the fluid reservoir is empty.
