To activate the windshield washer, pull the wiper control stalk located on the right side of the steering wheel toward the driver. Here is relevant information about windshield wipers: 1.

Adding windshield washer fluid is actually quite simple. I've been doing it myself for years of driving. Park the car safely and turn off the engine, then open the hood. There's usually a blue or white washer fluid reservoir cap marked with a windshield cleaning symbol. Buy a bottle of dedicated windshield washer fluid from a supermarket or auto parts store – don't cheap out and use tap water as it may clog the nozzles. Unscrew the cap and slowly pour in the new fluid, avoiding spills by not pouring too quickly. Stop when the fluid level approaches the marked line on the reservoir. Remember to choose antifreeze type in winter to prevent system damage from freezing. Make it a habit to check every 2-3 months and top up when low, ensuring smooth washer operation for driving safety – especially during rain when you rely on it for clear visibility.
