What does it mean when the Cadillac washer fluid is low?

Reminds the owner to add washer fluid in time. After adding the cleaning fluid, the indicator light will turn off. Here are the functions of the washer fluid: 1. Dirt removal and anti-corrosion: The washer fluid is an automotive glass cleaner made of deionized water and various environmentally friendly additives. It has functions such as dirt removal, water repellency, antifreeze, anti-static, and anti-corrosion. 3. Windshield cleaning: It can effectively remove dust, lubricants, gasoline, diesel, residual polishing wax, tree sap, and insect residues on highways. It can quickly disperse rainwater on the windshield, preventing the windshield from becoming blurry for the driver during heavy rainfall. 4. Neutralizing generated charges: It can neutralize the charges generated by friction between the windshield, wipers, and substances in the air, enhancing the conductivity of the glass surface, resisting static electricity, and preventing charge adsorption of dirt, which could affect visibility. The pH value remains neutral and does not contain various metal ions, ensuring no corrosion to the car's paint, rubber, or any metal parts.
Oops, when I was driving my Cadillac, a 'washer fluid low' warning popped up, meaning the windshield washer fluid reservoir is almost empty. When the warning light comes on, I need to be extra careful. Otherwise, if it rains or gets dusty while driving, pressing the washer button won’t spray any water, and the windshield will get blurry, making it hard to see the road—super dangerous. I usually find a safe spot to pull over and check the reservoir under the hood, typically the one with a blue cap and a wiper symbol. You can refill it with dedicated washer fluid from the supermarket, which works well to easily remove dirt and bird droppings. For a simpler solution, you can use purified water, but avoid tap water to prevent impurities from clogging the nozzles. In winter, make sure to use antifreeze-type fluid to prevent freezing and system damage. Once filled, the warning light automatically turns off, which is hassle-free. It’s recommended to check the fluid level monthly when washing the car to develop a good habit and avoid last-minute hassles. Timely maintenance ensures driving safety, is low-cost, and prevents bigger issues.
