How to Use the Headlight Washer on the Eighth-Generation Accord?
2 Answers
The method to use the headlight washer on the eighth-generation Accord: There is a headlight washer switch on the center console to the left of the steering wheel in the driver's seat. Press this switch to activate the headlight washer. The headlight washer switch is located next to the VscOff button. The eighth-generation Honda Accord is equipped with three engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine, and a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine. In terms of body dimensions, the eighth-generation Accord measures 4945mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2800mm. The interior of the eighth-generation Accord significantly reduces the use of environmentally harmful PVC materials and the content of VOC (volatile organic compounds) that are harmful to humans, reflecting Guangzhou Honda's care for the environment and people.
I drive an eighth-generation Accord and have been using it for several years. The headlight washer function is quite handy. It usually needs to be operated with the headlights on, meaning you first turn on the headlights—either low beam or high beam will do—then locate the windshield washer control lever on the driver's side, typically on the right side of the steering wheel, and pull it firmly once or a few times. This will simultaneously spray washer fluid onto both the windshield and the headlights, providing a good cleaning effect, especially in dusty or rainy/snowy conditions, improving nighttime visibility. I recommend using it once before each car wash to check if the nozzles are clogged. If nothing sprays out, it might be due to insufficient washer fluid or a system malfunction—adding some dedicated fluid should solve the issue. Remember not to use it too frequently to avoid wasting resources, as safe driving is the top priority in daily use.
