How to Operate the Windshield Washer Fluid Spray?
2 Answers
Spraying the windshield washer fluid is done using the button switch located on the right-hand lever of the steering wheel. Simply pull the lever switch toward yourself to spray the washer fluid. As the fluid sprays, the wipers will automatically activate to clean the windshield until the lever is released, stopping the operation. Here are some important notes regarding the use of windshield washer fluid: 1. It is recommended to spray the washer fluid before activating the wipers. This practice helps extend the lifespan of the wiper blades, reduces resistance during operation, and prevents scratching the windshield. 2. If no washer fluid sprays out after pulling the lever, avoid holding the lever for an extended period, as this may cause the motor to overheat and fail. Instead, open the engine hood to check if the washer fluid reservoir is empty. If it is, refill it to the appropriate level promptly. 3. If the washer fluid reservoir is at a normal level but the fluid still doesn't spray, the issue might be due to a damaged motor or low battery voltage. In such cases, it is advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a 4S shop or a professional repair service.
Operating the windshield washer is really convenient. Having driven for over a decade, I appreciate its efficiency in cleaning the glass. The basic method involves a control lever on the right side of the steering wheel—just gently pull it toward yourself to spray water, and the wipers automatically activate to wipe away dirt. I often use it on highways when encountering splashed mud; a quick pull instantly clears my view. To keep it working well, I regularly check the washer fluid reservoir. In summer, plain tap water suffices, but washer fluid removes oil stains more thoroughly. In winter, I switch to antifreeze washer fluid to prevent freezing. Every two months, I inspect the reservoir cap and nozzles to ensure they aren’t loose or clogged. If the spray is too forceful, I adjust the lever’s pull strength to avoid distracting operations while driving. These small habits keep my wiper system efficient, making driving safer and more worry-free.
