Can Tap Water Be Used as Wiper Fluid?

[AubreeMarie]

Tap water cannot be used as wiper fluid for the following reasons: Tap water lacks cleaning properties and contains impurities that can clog the wiper fluid nozzles. Wiper fluid possesses wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing characteristics, which enable it to clean, remove dirt, and provide antifreeze protection. Precautions for using wiper fluid include: 1. Spray intermittently; avoid continuous spraying for extended periods. 2. Do not overfill the wiper fluid reservoir. Steps for adding wiper fluid: 1. Open the front hood and locate the fluid reservoir. 2. Unpack the solid wiper fluid and place it into the reservoir. 3. Fill the reservoir until full. 4. Wait for the solid wiper fluid to dissolve completely.
