Kia Picanto: Maintenance / Washer fluid
Checking the washer fluid level

The reservoir is translucent so that you
can check the level with a quick visual
inspection.
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary.
Plain water may be used if washer fluid
is not available. However, use washer
solvent with antifreeze characteristics
in cold climates to prevent freezing.

in the washer fluid reservoir.
- Radiator coolant can severely obscure
visibility when sprayed on
the windshield and may cause loss
of vehicle control or damage to
paint and body trim.

contain some amounts of alcohol
and can be flammable under certain
circumstances. Do not allow

reservoir. Damage to the vehicle or
occupants could occur.

to humans and animals. Do
