How does the windshield wiper spray water?
2 Answers
The windshield wiper spray switch is located on the wiper control lever on the right side of the steering wheel. To use the spray function, simply pull the wiper control lever toward the driver to activate the water spray. Relevant details are as follows: 1. If you frequently use the wipers, make sure to check the windshield washer fluid level. If the fluid level is too low, refill it promptly to avoid dry wiping. 2. The wiper switch for most vehicles on the market is positioned on the right-hand stalk behind the steering wheel, typically in a lever-style design. Similar to the light control stalk, the wiper stalk features multiple function symbols. Although the symbols and their positions may vary across different brands, their functions are generally similar.
When my car's windshield gets dirty, I simply operate the windshield washer by pulling the right-hand stalk on the steering wheel toward me. I hear a hissing sound as a fine mist instantly sprays from the nozzles along the hood edge. Actually, there's a small electric pump connected to it that draws water from the washer fluid reservoir and sends it through hoses to the front nozzles. The reservoir is usually located in the engine bay with a capacity of about 3-4 liters, distinguished by its blue cap to differentiate it from other fluids. The nozzle angle can even be adjusted manually by gently bending it with a thin needle. This design is quite user-friendly - operable with one hand without compromising driving safety. The key is to ensure it never runs dry or freezes, otherwise clogged nozzles would cost unnecessary money to unclog.
