The method to spray windshield washer fluid in Geely Emgrand is to pull the wiper lever inward. Geely Emgrand models include: 2021 Manual Comfort, 2021 Manual Luxury, 2021 CVT Comfort, 2021 CVT Luxury, 2021 CVT Up, etc. Taking the 2021 Manual Comfort Geely Emgrand as an example, its body dimensions are: 4632mm in length, 1789mm in width, 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a body weight of 1255kg. The 2021 Manual Comfort Geely Emgrand features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 109PS, a maximum power of 80kW, and a maximum torque of 142Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
To be honest, it took me a while to figure out the Emgrand when I first drove it. If you want to spray windshield washer fluid, just locate the wiper control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel, grip it and pull it toward your chest. Apply some force but don't yank too hard - you'll feel a slight click and hear the squirting sound, then the wipers will swipe twice. Remember to check the washer fluid reservoir (the one with the blue cap under the hood) before driving - a bottle of supermarket washer fluid (about 10+ RMB) can fill it up. If it won't spray in winter, the fluid probably can't handle the cold; switch to an antifreeze type rated for -20°C to -30°C. I've also had clogged nozzles - just use a needle to poke the tiny holes to clear them.
Operating the windshield washer in an Emgrand is a breeze—just pull the lever on the right side of the steering wheel toward you. I often give it a quick spray at traffic lights for instant clarity. When the washer fluid runs low, locate the blue cap with a water jet symbol on the left side of the engine bay, and refill carefully to avoid spills. Key tip: Avoid using it in freezing temperatures, as standard washer fluid can freeze below zero, risking pipe damage. For the rear window, press the button on the end of the lever—a feature many beginners overlook. I make it a habit to check the fluid level weekly during refueling, especially in summer when bugs and grime accumulate faster.
The operation of spraying windshield washer fluid in the Emgrand is the same as most cars: pull the wiper stalk on the right side backward. However, some people find it hard to pull in practice, which is usually because they forgot to power on (turn the key to the ON position). I once encountered a situation where the washer motor burned out due to repeatedly pulling the stalk when the washer fluid was empty for a long time. Therefore, it's important to regularly open the hood and check the fluid level—refill when the blue reservoir is down to one-third. When refilling, be careful not to confuse it with other fluid reservoirs; the windshield washer cap has a clear spray icon. If the spray nozzle angle is incorrect, you can use a toothpick to fine-tune the water jet position. Paying attention to these details can save a lot on repair costs.
