The amount of windshield washer fluid to be added varies depending on the vehicle model. Some small cars typically require only 2 liters, while others may need up to 4 liters to reach full capacity. Generally, the capacity for washer fluid is mostly around 2 liters, and it should be filled up to 1cm below the bottle's opening. Steps to add windshield washer fluid: 1. First, open the engine hood. The hood release is usually located near the driver's left foot, and the washer fluid reservoir is positioned at the edge for easy access. 2. Look for a symbol resembling a windshield washer spray, which indicates the washer fluid reservoir. 3. When filling, ensure the washer fluid is added up to 1cm below the bottle's opening.

I remember feeling quite embarrassed when I added windshield washer fluid for the first time and got the wrong place. Car windshield washer fluid is usually added to the small reservoir under the hood, typically located near the windshield, with a blue-green cap featuring a wiper or water sprayer symbol. Make sure not to confuse it with the coolant or engine oil compartments—that could cause serious trouble. When filling, just top it up below the MAX line to avoid overflow; the reservoir is usually plastic and easy to identify. I recommend using dedicated windshield washer fluid instead of tap water, as tap water can freeze and damage the lines in winter and lacks cleaning power in summer. Before driving, always check the spray nozzles—if the spray seems weak, the reservoir might be empty, and a quick refill will restore normal function. Get into the habit of checking regularly, as running out of washer fluid can dangerously obstruct visibility. Personally, I make it a routine to refill it every season to avoid forgetting and running into issues.

What Causes the Burnt Smell When the Car Air Conditioner is On?

The reasons for the burnt smell when the car air conditioner is on are: 1. The air intake of the air conditioner is blocked, preventing the hot air inside from blowing out, which causes the heat to accumulate and burn the plastic components. The solution is to first check if the air intake is unobstructed, then manually test if the air outlet is functioning normally, and listen for any abnormal sounds inside the air conditioner unit. 2. Aging wiring, where the circuit gets burnt due to heat during electric heating. If this is the cause, the unit needs to be disassembled for inspection and repair. The car air conditioner is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the car cabin to the optimal state, providing a comfortable environment for passengers and reducing travel fatigue.
