How to Add Windshield Washer Fluid to Hyundai Tucson?
2 Answers
Modern Tucson car's windshield washer fluid filler port is located on the left side of the engine compartment, with a washer symbol on the cap and a blue lid. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Use the wiper operation knob to spray out the old windshield washer fluid first. 2. After completely draining the old fluid, add a small amount of new windshield washer fluid at the filler port. 3. Then turn on the wiper operation knob again to flush out the remaining old fluid. 4. When no more fluid sprays from the nozzles, fill the reservoir with approximately 4L of new windshield washer fluid to complete the process.
I recently topped up the windshield washer fluid for my Hyundai Tucson, and the whole process was incredibly simple. First, park the car in a safe spot and turn off the engine to prevent accidents. Near the driver's seat, right by the door on the left side, there's a small lever—that's the hood release. Just give it a gentle pull until you hear a 'click.' Step out of the car and head to the front. The hood is a bit heavy, so lift it up and secure it with the support rod to avoid it slamming shut and hurting your hand. Inside the engine bay, on the right corner, you'll find a small blue container with a windshield wiper icon—that's the washer fluid reservoir. Unscrew the cap and pour in the fluid, but be mindful of the 'MAX' line marked on the bottle. Don't fill it to the brim; leave some space to prevent spills when driving over bumps. It's best to use all-season, automotive-grade washer fluid—avoid plain water or laundry detergent, as they can corrode the pump system. After filling, tighten the cap securely. When closing the hood, press it down gently to ensure it locks properly. Once done, I like to test the wipers to make sure the spray works fine—keeping the windshield clean is crucial for safe driving. Remember to check the fluid level monthly and top up as needed.
