Is there an indicator thats supposed to go off letting me know that the windshield wiper fluid is low?

Today, i ran out, but dont remember ever seeing a low fluid indicator light come on.

Assuming I got it fully filled from the dealership when i picked it up last saturday, i only used it a few times, and its out 1 week later? must be a small tank?

Thanks for your help guys.

Can't be that small a tank. I thought the Canadian models had a low windshield wiper fluid warning light, but I'm not sure about the U.S. models. If the tank was full, then there might be a leak somewhere which would explain why you only got a week's worth of use out of it (assuming it was a full tank).

is the indicator not under the trip meter? right beside the maintenance required light..?

I believe it's not a feature that's enabled on US models...

Neither is there such a function on all RHD Hondas. In fact, I've never seen or heard anything like that is available. Not even the flagship NSX or Legend.

Indicator light comes on on mine when it gets low. I thought both Canadian and US models have it. When it comes on, it takes almost a gallon of fluid to fill it to the top again.

It's not a US model feature.

Also missing from the US models are DRLs, I believe.

The US 04's also didn't have heated side mirrors.

kinda sucks that the US models have the windshield washer fluid light...but doesn't work...

is the warning light something that can be enabled by the dealership?

Doubt it - it's not part of the OEM system setup.

If you got the Canadian and US wiring specs, you might be able to order the parts from a Canadian dealership and then manually install the necessary parts and run the necessary wires.

Sorry for the bump but it's on topic: Anybody have a problem with their windshield wiper fluid not spraying up very far on their windshield? Mine seems to have great flow, just not enough pressure to get it more than 6-10 inches up from the bottom of the glass

I haven't really looked at mine (no need to yet) but 90% of hondas (acura included) have ajustable nozzles. Just get a small paper clip or if you have one, those jewelers screwdrivers that are just a point. Then just aim it a lil higher. I will check mine tomorrow morning to double check that it is capable of this.

the '06 shop manual shows the level switch for the Canadian model only. Probably because of the lousyer weather up there.

From what I've experienced, it seems like the "default" settings for the nozzles are set to shoot the full wiper extension when travelling at around 30 to 40 mph. Anything slower and it seems to hit pretty low.

If you're travelling at highway speeds, you'll get some splatter on the moon roof.

If they do it just the same stuff you buy anywhere else, they just put Acura on it and sell it for twice as much.

auto store brands.
