Low Washer Fluid Indicator?

Just a question...does anyone know if the 4GTL (US Model) has a low washer fluid indicator light on the dash? I tried to wash my windows this morning...and nothing was coming out, not sure if was frozen (9F this morning) or I ran out...Thanks!

Don't know if it would be different in US Models but Canada model tells you and beeps when there is a low level of washer fluid. It appears on the driver console where the trip computer is.

I don't think there is one on the US models. Didn't see any reference to it in the manual.

It must be there somewhere - really. This is a basic item. In a 35K to 40K vehicle there must be a low washer indicator.

I keep running out because everyone wants to see the washers in action. Takes almost 2 bottles of washer fluid to fill it up.

I own a Canadian model...... the windshield fluid stop spraying once when I got the car during the first 2 months..... the headlamp washer has fluid but not the windshield one. I thought the fluid level was running low at that time, but still no windshield fluid after I filled the reservoir. Took it back to my dealer......and something was actually lose........after they fixed it..... everything works.....and the low windshield fluid will pop up if my windshield fluid is actually low......

Talk about being cheap, my 06 TSX had a low washer alert. The TL has to be checked like the oil. The washer bottle has a dipstick
