Fuel Evaporation Control 

Fuel tank venting 

The evaporation chamber and the carbon canister 

prevent fuel vapors from escaping to the atmo-

sphere at extreme high outside temperatures, 

when driving abruptly around curves and when the 

car is parked at an incline or in any other non-level 

position. 

Vapor control system and storage 

When the fuel tank is filled, vapors are collected in 

the evaporation chamber by a vent line leading the 

vapors to the carbon canister where they are 

stored as long as the engine does not run. 

Purge system 

When the engine is running, the fuel vapors from 

the canister will be mixed with fresh air from the 

ambient air of the canister. This mixture will be 

directed to the intake air housing by the tank vent 

line, mixed with the intake air and burned during 

normal combustion.

Washer Fluid

The reservoir, with a blue screw cap, is in the en-

gine compartment. 

Capacity 

The capacity is approx. 4.8 quarts/4.5 liters.

Topping off washer fluid

Clean water is generally not enough to clean the 

windshield and headlights.

It is advantageous to add a winter cleaner giving 

antifreeze protection or a suitable summer clean-

er, depending on the season. Follow the instruc-

tions for the mixing ratio. 
1. Please note all the information on the refill con-

tainer of the cleaning agent.

2. Open cap of the washer-fluid reservoir.
3. Top up washer fluid and close cap properly.
f Do not use engine coolant anti-freeze or any 

other solution that can damage the car’s paint, 

in the washer reservoir. 

The warning lights in the instrument panel and on-

board computer light when approx.1 quart/

0.5 liter is left in the reservoir.
