How to activate the windshield washer on Changan CS75?
2 Answers
Gently push the windshield wiper stalk to activate the washer system, which sprays windshield washer fluid. The functions of washer fluid are as follows: 1. Cleaning performance: Washer fluid is formulated with multiple surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically provide wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing effects to remove dirt. 2. Antifreeze performance: Containing alcohol and ethylene glycol, it significantly lowers the freezing point to dissolve frost quickly. 3. Anti-fog performance: Forms a monomolecular protective layer on the glass surface to prevent fog droplet formation, ensuring clear visibility through the windshield.
I've been driving the Changan CS75 for several years, and the windshield washer function, though a small daily feature, is quite crucial. The wiper control stalk is located on the right side of the steering wheel. Gently pull it toward yourself, and the washer fluid will spray out while the wipers automatically swipe the windshield a few times. Remember not to use too much force—keep the motion light and quick. This is especially useful during rainy days or when the windshield gets dirty, like when bugs stick to it after a highway drive—a quick spray cleans it right up. Make it a habit to check the washer fluid level and top it up every six months to avoid unexpected issues. Before driving, it's a good practice to test the washer to ensure everything works properly, preventing sudden malfunctions on the road. If the wipers aren't working well, don't rush to replace them—first check if the fluid is empty or frozen to avoid unnecessary expenses.
