reservoir overflow tank can cause severe burns Be sure that both the engine and cooling system are cool before you begin any heating cooling system maintenance or repairs Because of lower hood profiles and cramped engine quarters it s also possible that your car may be equipped with an air bleed for the cooling system Unless the cooling system is bled properly air may stay trapped in the system and cause erratic temperatures or in extreme cases engine or cooling system damage If you re unsure about any aspect of cooling system service have your car looked at by a professional service technician Fluid Description Windshield washer fluid or solvent as it s sometimes called usually has a methanol base that gives the fluid its anti freezing properties Some fluids use isopropyl alcohol as the anti freeze agent Purpose Usage Windshield washer fluid is used for on road on demand cleaning of the windshield through the electrically operated washers Some vehicles also use a washer system for the rear window as well as the headlights Maintenance Tips Suggestions It s wise to keep the windshield washer reservoir full at all times with washer fluid Running the system out of fluid can damage the windshield washer pump Stay away from water as it does not provide anti freeze properties and does not clean as well as washer fluid Some vehicles have multiple washer fluid reservoirs for different parts of the vehicle During the winter months where there is a lot of road salt it s a good idea to keep a bottle of washer fluid in your car If your washers stop working and the reservoir has plenty of fluid have the washer system checked out at once by a professional service technician Washers are a critical safety system of your car and should not be left neglected Windshield Washer
