Buick Encore: Vehicle Checks / Washer Fluid
What to Use
When the vehicle needs windshield washer
fluid, be sure to read the manufacturer's
instructions before use. If operating the
vehicle in an area where the temperature
may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
![Buick Encore. Washer Fluid](images/washer_fluid-317/1/buick_encore_washer_fluid_545.gif)
Open the cap with the washer symbol on it.
Add washer fluid until the tank is full. See
Engine Compartment Overview for
reservoir location.
Caution
- Do not use washer fluid that contains
any type of water repellent coating.
This can cause the wiper blades to
chatter or skip.
- Do not use engine coolant (antifreeze)
in the windshield washer. It can
damage the windshield washer system
and paint.
- Do not mix water with ready-to-use
washer fluid. Water can cause the
solution to freeze and damage the
washer fluid tank and other parts of
the washer system.
- When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer instructions
for adding water.
- Fill the washer fluid tank only
three-quarters full when it is very cold.
This allows for fluid expansion if
freezing occurs, which could damage
the tank if it is completely full.
The vehicle has an engine coolant
temperature gauge to warn of the engine
overheating. See Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge.
If the decision is made not to lift the hood
when this warning appears, get service help
right away...

indicators that make a high-pitched warning
sound when the brake linings are worn and
new linings are needed. The sound can come
and go or can be heard all the time when
the vehicle is moving, except when applying
the brake pedal firmly...

The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster for the driver and front outboard
passenger seating positions.
Adjust the height so the shoulder portion of
the belt is on the shoulder and not falling
off of it. The belt should be close to, but not
contacting, the neck...

All seating positions in the vehicle have a
lap-shoulder belt.
The following instructions explain how to
wear a lap-shoulder belt properly.
Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable,
so you can sit up straight. To see how,
see “Seats” in the Index.
