How to Activate the Windshield Washer Fluid in the Cadillac CT5?
1 Answers
Cadillac CT5 windshield washer fluid switch is located on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel, which also operates the wipers. Pull the stalk towards yourself to activate the washer fluid. Windshield washer fluids are mainly categorized into three types: summer-use washer fluid, winter anti-freeze washer fluid, and special anti-freeze washer fluid. Summer-use washer fluid is primarily designed to remove insect residues from the windshield. It's essential to choose the appropriate washer fluid based on different climates and temperature conditions. Below are the key features of windshield washer fluid: 1. Cleaning Performance: Windshield washer fluid is formulated with various surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically provide wetting, penetration, and solubilization functions, effectively removing dirt. 2. Anti-Freeze Performance: The presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid, preventing freezing and quickly dissolving frost. 3. Anti-Fog Performance: A single-molecule protective layer forms on the glass surface, preventing the formation of fog droplets and ensuring clear visibility. 4. Anti-Static Performance: After cleaning with washer fluid, substances adsorbed on the glass surface eliminate static charges. 5. Lubrication Performance: The ethylene glycol content in the fluid provides viscosity, reducing friction between the wipers and the glass to prevent scratches. 6. Anti-Corrosion Performance: The fluid contains multiple corrosion inhibitors, ensuring safety for all metals, car paint, and rubber without any corrosive effects.
