Washer Fluid Warning Light

Informational - status, not a fault

low washer fluid light · windshield washer fluid light

What it means

The windshield washer fluid reservoir is running low.

Common causes

  • Washer fluid used up over time
  • Faulty fluid level float switch (rare)

What to do

Top up the washer fluid reservoir under the hood with washer fluid (not plain water in freezing climates, since it can freeze and crack the lines).

Can you keep driving?

Yes, this has no effect on how the car drives, but keep the reservoir filled for visibility in rain or on dirty roads.
