2 Answers
To adjust the windshield washer spray higher, gently lift the washer nozzle upwards using a pin, then slowly adjust the height and angle of the nozzle back and forth until it is properly aligned. The function of the windshield wiper is to remove raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. The method of using the windshield wiper is: 1. Locate the wiper control lever below the left side of the steering wheel; 2. Push the wiper lever up one gear to activate the wiper; 3. To turn off the wiper, push the lever down to the off position. The maintenance methods for the windshield wiper include: 1. Use windshield washer fluid to clean the front windshield; 2. Regularly clean or replace the wiper blades; 3. Replace the linkage components.
Having driven for over a decade, adjusting windshield washer nozzle height is extremely simple. First insert a regular pin into the nozzle hole, then gently tilt it upward at the correct angle. The nozzles are usually concealed under the hood edge - look carefully and you'll spot them. Before adjusting, it's best to test the spray pattern with the engine running; if it's too low, the fluid won't reach the windshield center. Make small adjustments each time - gradual tweaks are safest as excessive force can break the plastic nozzle. If the spray splits, it indicates clogging - clear the orifice with the pin before height adjustment. The whole DIY process takes about ten minutes, saving you 200-300 yuan compared to garage service.
