Yes! Keep bottle filled!
Sorry could not resist. Don't know of a way but now that you know what happens, probably won't be so traumatized next time.
Mines not overly bright.... maybe a retrofit from 2nd Gen CTD.

It would be a simple matter to disable the warning, just cut the wire at the reservoir.
But then you could run out of fluid and not know it.
Even better system is to check the washer fluid when you check the oil.

My washer fluid tank is cracked, so the idiot light reminds me every time I start the truck. One of these days I'll git a round-to-it.
