How to Add Water to the Wiper?
3 Answers
Methods for adding water to the wiper: 1. Pull the lever to open the engine hood, then lift it firmly to keep the engine hood in a half-open state; 2. Locate the wiper fluid filler port, open the cap, and directly add water. Wiper fluid comes in two types: liquid wiper fluid and solid wiper concentrate. Wiper fluid is a super-concentrated automotive glass cleaner. Its functions include: 1. Removing stubborn dirt, oil stains, and rain residue from the windshield; 2. Forming a protective film to prevent the adhesion of dust and oil; 3. Ensuring smooth and clean wiping by the wiper blades; 4. Maintaining a broad driving vision and protecting the wiper blades.
I remember feeling a bit overwhelmed when I first added windshield washer fluid—popping the hood revealed a dizzying array of parts. Later, I checked the manual and located the washer fluid reservoir (the transparent plastic tank with the wiper symbol) near the engine bay. Unscrewing the cap, I poured in the mixed solution: I usually blend commercial washer fluid with water at the ratio specified in the instructions, being careful not to overfill to avoid spills. In winter, I switch to antifreeze washer fluid to prevent freezing, and if the nozzles get clogged, I gently clear them with a needle. Checking it every two months saves me from blurred vision during heavy rain while driving. These small details help me avoid hassles in my daily commute.
As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, topping up windshield washer fluid is a piece of cake. Just pop the hood, locate the washer fluid reservoir (usually on the left side or front), unscrew the cap and pour in washer fluid or a mix with purified water. I prefer buying canned washer fluid for convenience - remember to leave some space after filling to avoid damaging components. The car will alert you when it's running low - I always address it immediately to prevent safety hazards from failed spray function while driving. Pro tip: Never use tap water to avoid sediment buildup. The whole process takes just five minutes.
