I ran out! There was no warning light. I checked in the manual and it mentions nothing about a low washer fluid light, don't think it has one.
Kinda strange.

If you have the EVIC system it will alert you. Don't know about non-EVIC Patriots.

It should beep and provide an alert regardless of where it is set according to the manual.

Today I forgot to buy bananas and there was no warning light or sound either.
I wouldn't see it so tragic.It's a good idea anyways to open the hood time to time and check the engine compartment and the fluid levels at the same time.
Let's imagine that years ago people had to crank the car engine by hand,then there was no A/C for very many years,then there was no automatic tranny or radio and today some drivers are unhappy about little warning light for windshield washer or tire pressure.What's next,warning sound for the windshield wipers so you can hear a beep when you turn them on?
The warning is when you have mud on your windshild and theres no fluid to clean it. It alerts you to go buy some more. I had this problem in the middle of nowhere.

Sorry folks, I'm a poor man, when I hear a warning sound from my car its either a flat tire or the muffler is dragging..

It's usually a good idea to check fluid levels every time you stop for fuel - something I learned many vehicles ago. My first car had 4/60 air. Four windows open at 60 MPH. Seriously, the windshield washer and other fluids are easily checked, and are easy to get to. I still carry a tire pressure gauge. Manual - not digital.

Re: EVIC and washer fluid. All I can tell you is that the system is supposed to present a "low washer fluid" message on the screen, regardless of what you were displaying, and chime once. That is according to the owners manual. I have not had the fluid get low so cannot verify this.

Its a good feature but I hated on my XJ Cherokee...the thing was bright yellow and would stay on all the time...like your oil pressure had dropped or something....I think it was nice it told me the fluid was low but I didn't need to be constantly reminded...My Dodge will come one when you start and then go out after a minute or so....

By the time I was done with my XJ about half of the warning lights were covered by black electrical tape. They were bad sensors or I knew what the problem was and had it covered. Simpler time.
