How to add windshield washer fluid to the Sagitar?
3 Answers
The method to add windshield washer fluid to the Sagitar is: Open the engine hood, locate the light blue cap at the front right of the engine compartment, open it, and pour in the windshield washer fluid to complete the refill. The Sagitar is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase of 2731mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The Sagitar is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 85 kW and a maximum torque of 175 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension employing a multi-link independent suspension.
I've been driving a Sagitar for over 20 years, so adding windshield washer fluid is second nature to me. First, pop the hood by pulling the lever near the driver's footwell until you hear a click, then release the latch underneath the hood. Locate the small plastic reservoir marked with a windshield wiper or glass symbol in the front section of the engine bay. Open the cap and slowly pour in the dedicated washer fluid—don't overfill it, keeping the level below the Max line to avoid spills. Secure all covers afterward. In winter, always use antifreeze-type fluid to prevent pipe damage from freezing; summer calls for regular cleaner to save costs and be eco-friendly. I recommend monthly checks to maintain wiper efficiency for clear, safe visibility. A DIY refill takes just minutes, saving shop fees while letting you peek at other fluid levels, boosting car maintenance awareness.
I just started driving the Sagitar not long ago and was a little nervous when adding windshield washer fluid for the first time, but it turned out to be super easy after trying. The hood release lever is located below the steering wheel on the left side - pull it to unlock, then go to the front of the car and lift the hood. Next, look for a small reservoir in the engine compartment with a wiper symbol on its cap, which makes it easy to identify. Open the cap and pour in dedicated fluid (don't use tap water as it may clog the nozzles), stopping when reaching the Full mark. After replacing the cap, start the car and test the washer spray to check if the mist is even. For beginners, I recommend buying bottled washer fluid with antifreeze properties for winter snow conditions. Make it a habit to check the fluid level before driving to avoid running out during rainy conditions. The whole process takes just 2-3 minutes, boosting confidence while preventing emergency risks.
