Nissan Altima (L34) 2019-2024 Owners Manual: Windshield-washer fluid

Windshield-washer fluid reservoir

Fill the windshield-washer fluid reservoir periodically. Add windshield-washer fluid when the "Low Washer Fluid" warning appears in the vehicle information display.

To check the fluid level with the dip tube, use your finger to plug the center hole A of the cap/tube assembly, then remove it from the reservoir. If there is no fluid in the dip tube, add fluid.

To fill the windshield-washer fluid reservoir, lift the cap off the reservoir and pour the windshield-washer fluid into the reservoir opening.

Add a washer solvent to the washer for better cleaning. In the winter season, add a windshield washer antifreeze. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the mixture ratio.

Refill the reservoir more frequently when driving conditions require an increased amount of windshield-washer fluid.

Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN Windshield Washer Concentrate Cleaner & Antifreeze or equivalent.

WARNING

Antifreeze is poisonous and should be stored carefully in marked containers out of the reach of children.

CAUTION

• Do not substitute engine antifreeze coolant for windshield-washer fluid.

  This may result in damage to the paint.

• Do not fill the windshield-washer fluid reservoir with washer fluid concentrates at full strength. Some methyl alcohol based washer fluid concentrates may permanently stain the grille if spilled while filling the windshield-washer fluid reservoir.
• Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates with water to the manufacturer's recommended levels before pouring the fluid into the windshield-washer fluid reservoir. Do not use the windshield-washer fluid reservoir to mix the washer fluid concentrate and water.
