How to Add Windshield Washer Fluid to Tucson?
2 Answers
Tucson windshield washer fluid refill steps are as follows: 1. Use the wiper control knob to spray out the old washer fluid first. 2. After completely draining the old fluid, add a small amount of new washer fluid at the filler port. 3. Then activate the wiper control knob again to flush out any remaining old fluid. 4. When no more fluid sprays from the nozzles, refill with approximately 4L of new washer fluid to complete the process. Below are seasonal adjustment methods for washer fluid preparation: 1. In summer when there's more dust in the air, add about one bottle cap's worth of detergent (but don't exceed this amount as excessive bubbles may hinder cleaning). 2. In winter when temperatures drop, appropriately increase alcohol content to lower the solution's freezing point. A mixture of 40-50% alcohol with 50-60% water achieves a -25℃ freezing point, suitable for most regions nationwide.
When I used to drive a Tucson, I often added windshield washer fluid myself, which I found to be a pretty simple task. Open the hood, look for a small container with a windshield wiper icon—usually with a blue cap—it's typically located in a corner of the engine bay and easy to spot. Open the cap and pour the washer fluid directly in, but don’t overfill it beyond the marked line, or it might leak and corrode other components. Check the fluid level and top it up if it’s low. I prefer using an antifreeze type that works year-round to avoid freezing in winter. After filling, test the spray to clean the windshield and ensure there’s no blockage—this keeps your view clear and much safer while driving. Remember to check the fluid level regularly and don’t wait until it’s empty to refill. Developing good maintenance habits helps prevent issues down the road.
