How to Spray Windshield Washer Fluid in a Car?
1 Answers
To spray windshield washer fluid in a car, follow these steps: Pull the control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel (which also operates the windshield wipers) toward the driver to activate the spray. If no fluid is dispensed when pulling the stalk, avoid repeatedly pulling it, as this may indicate that the washer fluid reservoir is empty. In such cases, check the fluid level and refill it before attempting to use the system again. Windshield washer fluid is a specialized mixture of water, alcohol, and ethylene glycol designed to clean the windshield effectively. It also serves an anti-freezing function for the glass. Additionally, the ethylene glycol in the fluid provides lubrication to the windshield, helping to prevent corrosion of the rubber components in the wiper blades, thereby extending the lifespan of both the windshield and the wipers.
