How to use the windshield washer spray?

To use the windshield washer spray: 1. The windshield washer switch is located on the right-hand control lever of the steering wheel, which is the same lever used to adjust the wipers; 2. Push this lever forward to activate the washer spray. In some vehicles, you may need to pull the lever backward to spray water. The windshield wiper, also known as a windscreen wiper or wiper blade, is a device used to wipe away raindrops and dust from the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. Due to legal requirements, almost all vehicles are equipped with wipers, and some models like hatchbacks and SUVs also have rear window wipers.
I remember using the windshield washer while driving is quite convenient. There's a stalk on the steering wheel - just gently pull it toward yourself to activate the washer function. It sprays washer fluid to clean the glass while the wiper blades automatically sweep a few times to remove dirt. Before operating, it's advisable to check if the washer fluid is sufficient; if not, open the hood to refill. I prefer using dedicated washer fluid as it performs better than plain water and prevents freezing in winter. In summer, choose a standard-temperature formula to avoid fogging up the heated glass after spraying. Regularly check wiper blade wear and replace them promptly to prevent scratching the windshield. Avoid using the washer too frequently to conserve fluid and reduce wear. Developing this habit improves rainy-day visibility and enhances safety. This simple action becomes second nature with practice, usable anytime during long drives.
