3 Answers
To spray water for cleaning car windows, lift the wiper control lever on the right side of the steering wheel upwards and hold it without releasing. Precautions when using the car window washer: 1. Adjust and check the nozzle's spray position promptly; 2. Inspect the nozzle for blockages in a timely manner; 3. After spraying the cleaning fluid on the windshield, check if the wipers can operate promptly; 4. Regularly inspect and replenish the windshield washer fluid. Solutions for when car wipers do not spray water: 1. Use a sewing needle, pin, or thin wire to unclog the spray nozzle; 2. Add windshield washer fluid, replace damaged hoses, and tighten loose connections; 3. Repair or replace the motor and its wiring.
When I first got my driver's license, I struggled with learning how to clean the windshield. Later, a friend taught me that it's actually very simple. Most cars have a control lever on the left or right side of the steering wheel. Pull it toward yourself, and it will spray washer fluid onto the windshield while the wipers activate to clean it. Remember to first check if there's washer fluid in the reservoir. If not, just buy dedicated windshield washer fluid from the supermarket and fill the reservoir under the hood. Don't wait until the windshield gets too dirty to use it. When driving in dusty conditions or during rain when visibility is poor, a gentle pull can quickly clear your view, making driving much safer. Don't pull too hard to avoid overspray and wasting fluid. If no fluid comes out, the reservoir might be empty or the nozzle could be clogged—address this promptly to avoid potential hazards. I make it a habit to test the system before every drive to ensure it's working properly.
I've been driving for over 20 years, and washing the windshield is a routine task. Just pull the control lever next to the steering wheel, and both the washer fluid and wipers will activate simultaneously. Be quick and decisive to save some washer fluid. Timing is crucial—avoid frequent use on highways to prevent distraction; it's best to do it at red lights or when parked. I usually add dedicated automotive washer fluid to the reservoir under the hood, avoiding tap water to prevent nozzle clogging from mineral deposits. Plain water works in summer, but switch to antifreeze-type fluid in winter to prevent freezing. Remember, the wipers stop automatically after a few swipes. If it's not clean, pull the lever again. Never let the reservoir run dry to avoid damaging the pump. Good habits can extend part lifespan and reduce repair costs.
