How to Turn On the Windshield Washer?
2 Answers
The method to turn on the windshield washer is as follows: 1. Operate by moving the lever on the right side of the steering wheel up and down. The windshield wiper has five positions in total; 2. In the intermittent position, you can rotate the intermittent time adjustment knob; 3. When lifting the lever briefly, it only sprays water without wiping, and when lifting it for a longer time, it continuously sprays water and wipes at low speed. After releasing the switch, it automatically wipes three times and returns to the original position. The windshield wiper positions can be divided into: 1. MIST is the single wipe mode; 2. OFF is stop; 3. INT is intermittent mode; 4. LO is low-speed wiping; 5. HI is high-speed wiping.
I remember when I first started driving, it took me quite a while to find this switch. Operating the windshield washer is actually quite simple. Most cars have a control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel, the same one that controls the wipers. Gently pushing or pulling the stalk toward yourself for a brief moment will activate the washer system. Simultaneously, the wipers will automatically swipe a few times to clean the glass. If nothing happens, don't worry—first check the washer fluid reservoir under the hood; it might be empty, so just refill it with windshield washer fluid. When operating, make sure your visibility isn't compromised while driving—it's best to use it at low speeds or when parked. Regularly check the fluid level and ensure the nozzles aren't clogged; using dedicated cleaning solutions can extend their lifespan. If it still doesn't work, there might be a blown fuse or a motor issue, requiring professional repair. In short, just push the wiper stalk to get it done—once you get used to it, it's very convenient.
