To spray windshield washer fluid on the Leiling car, lift the wiper control lever toward the steering wheel side. The Leiling measures 4630 mm in length, 1775 mm in width, and 1480 mm in height. Safety features include: driver and front passenger airbags, front side airbags, front and rear head airbags, knee airbags, tire pressure monitoring, ABS anti-lock braking, brake force distribution, brake assist, lane departure warning system, and lane keep assist system. In terms of power, the gasoline version continues to use a 1.2T CVT powertrain combination, delivering a maximum power of 85 kW and peak torque of 185 Nm. The hybrid version is equipped with a 1.8L Atkinson-cycle engine and Toyota's THS II hybrid system, with the engine producing a maximum power of 72 kW and peak torque of 142 Nm, and the motor delivering a peak power of 53 kW and peak torque of 163 Nm, resulting in a combined system power of 90 kW. The suspension setup consists of a front MacPherson strut and a rear double-wishbone independent suspension combination.

I've been driving my Levin for almost three years now, and using the windshield washer is a breeze. Just pull the control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel toward you to spray. Be careful not to use too much force—a gentle tug toward yourself will activate the wipers for a few sweeps to help clean. In winter when temperatures drop below freezing, remember to switch to anti-freeze washer fluid beforehand; otherwise, the tubes might freeze and you won't get any spray. The spray nozzle angle can be fine-tuned—just insert a needle and gently adjust it to change the spray range. I make it a habit to check the fluid level before setting off, filling it up to the MAX line for optimal use. If the spray seems weak, it might be due to a clogged filter or a faulty pump, in which case a visit to the repair shop is in order.

I remember studying this carefully when I first got the car. The Leiling's windshield washer is controlled by the lever on the right side of the steering wheel - just gently pull it toward your chest. The spraying duration depends on how long you pull: a short press gives a quick spray, while holding it down allows continuous spraying for 3-5 seconds. When the windshield is very dirty, it's best to spray first before wiping to avoid damaging the wiper rubber. The washer fluid reservoir is a blue-capped container in the trunk - it's recommended to dilute neutral cleaner at a 1:20 ratio. After spraying, check if the nozzles are properly aligned to ensure even coverage across the entire windshield.

It's extremely easy to operate: After starting the car, use the control lever on the right side of the steering wheel. Gently pull it toward the driver, and you'll hear the motor humming as the windshield washer fluid sprays onto the front windshield instantly. It's recommended to perform this operation while driving, keeping your eyes focused on the road. When encountering insect remains or bird droppings, hold the lever down and let the wipers sweep back and forth a few times. In summer, using cleaning-type washer fluid works well for removing insect residue, while in winter, switch to a -25°C antifreeze solution. Check the fluid level monthly to avoid dry-running the pump. After occasional highway drives, remember to clean the nozzles to prevent small stones from clogging the spray outlets.

Just taught my wife how to operate this last week. The windshield washer switch of the Levin is located at the top of the turn signal lever, allowing operation without taking hands off the steering wheel. The key is to pull it towards your body, noting that it's not a twisting action. It's recommended to clean the spray nozzles monthly, just poke them with a paperclip. I make it a habit to spray specialized water repellent before rainy days, ensuring clearer vision during heavy rain. To refill the washer fluid, open the engine hood and look for the blue cap with a windshield symbol. Always fill it up before long trips, as running out suddenly can be dangerous.

Having driven five models, this feature is the most consistent across them. Lightly pulling the right-hand control stalk toward your chest activates the washer spray, while the wipers automatically sweep three times. The deliberate physical button design prioritizes driving safety. I've observed approximately 1L of washer fluid consumption monthly in summer, with less usage during winter. Recommend using genuine concentrated fluid mixed with distilled water to prevent pipe clogging from mineral deposits. Regularly check spray coverage—it should reach two-thirds of the windshield. Never use toothpicks for clogged nozzles (risk of breakage); always employ professional cleaning needles instead.
