How to spray windshield washer fluid in the CT6?
4 Answers
The steps to spray windshield washer fluid in the CT6 are: 1. Locate the windshield washer control lever on the right side of the steering wheel; 2. Pull the lever toward yourself to spray the fluid. Taking the 2021 CT6 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5223 mm, width 1879 mm, height 1492 mm, wheelbase 3109 mm, and fuel tank capacity 72 liters. The 2021 CT6 is equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 237 hp, maximum power of 174 kW, and maximum power speed of 5000 rpm.
As a CT6 owner who just picked up the car half a year ago, I find the windshield washer function super convenient! The control lever on the right side of the steering wheel – when you press it inward, it activates the washer, and the wipers will automatically swipe twice. A special note about the front windshield washer: if you hold it down, it sprays for about three seconds. When driving on highways where there are lots of bugs, I basically use it every three days. Refilling the washer fluid is also simple – just look for the blue cap, that’s the filler port. Remember to switch to antifreeze washer fluid when seasons change, otherwise the pipes might freeze and crack in winter. The original one from the 4S店 is pretty good.
Experienced driver's insights on driving the CT6: The right index finger naturally rests on the top of the right-hand stalk on the steering wheel. To clean the windshield, simply press it toward the steering wheel. The design is quite user-friendly, eliminating the need to look down for buttons and ensuring an unobstructed driving view. Previously, driving Japanese cars required reaching for central control buttons, but this setup is much safer now. The wipers automatically coordinate with the washer fluid spray, and the spray intensity can be adjusted based on the pressing duration, ensuring even distribution at the bottom of the windshield. The dashboard alerts when the washer fluid is running low, and it's fine to use regular -25°C antifreeze bought from supermarkets.
Having serviced several CT6s, I can confirm the windshield washer control is on the right-side steering column stalk. The rotary knob at the end adjusts wiper speed, while pushing the stalk toward the driver activates the spray. A common issue is clogged nozzles - simply clear them with a pin. The washer fluid reservoir (blue cap/white tank) is located on the left side under the hood. We recommend changing washer fluid formulations quarterly; in southern regions, above-freezing (0°C+) solutions suffice. Some owners mistakenly activate wipers instead of washers - remember the spray icon shows a water droplet over a fan shape.
