The method to drain windshield washer fluid is: 1. Step on the car's brake pedal; 2. Press the car's one-touch start button, the car's dashboard will light up, and the entire vehicle's power will be activated; 3. Pull the wiper switch towards the steering wheel to activate the windshield washer spray mode; 4. Keep pulling the car's wiper switch until the windshield washer fluid is completely drained. The functions of windshield washer fluid are: 1. Using windshield washer fluid while driving keeps the front windshield transparent; 2. Extends the lifespan of the glass and wipers; 3. Prevents the windows from icing up in winter; 4. Prevents static electricity on the windows. The method to add windshield washer fluid is: 1. Turn on the wiper switch, and the windshield washer fluid will spray from below the front windshield; 2. When the spray nozzle stops spraying, open the windshield washer fluid filler cap and add the fluid; 3. Turn on the wiper switch again to clear out any remaining fluid; 4. When no more fluid sprays from the nozzle, add the windshield washer fluid and securely close the filler cap when done.

I often perform DIY car maintenance, and draining the windshield washer fluid reservoir is actually quite simple. First, park the car on level ground and ensure the engine is completely cool to avoid burns. Locate the windshield washer fluid reservoir cap under the hood, marked with the washer fluid symbol, and unscrew it carefully to avoid spills. Using a siphon or a hand pump to extract the fluid is most effective. If you don’t have these tools, you can park the car on a slight incline or gently tilt the reservoir to drain the liquid. It’s also a good idea to run the washer system a few times to ensure no residual water remains in the lines. Be sure to do this before winter arrives, as old fluid can freeze and crack the plastic reservoir. When refilling, choose an antifreeze-type washer fluid for long-lasting and safe performance. The whole process takes about ten minutes, saving you repair costs while also building your experience.

As someone who commutes by car regularly, I find emptying the washer fluid reservoir to be a simple daily task. After parking and letting the engine cool, pop open the hood and locate the reservoir cap with the windshield wiper symbol. Just unscrew it. Let the fluid drain naturally or use a thin tube to siphon it out – wearing gloves keeps your hands clean during the process. Activate the washer system to purge any remaining liquid, preventing freeze damage in winter. Don't forget to inspect the reservoir for cracks while you're at it; keeping it clean saves future repairs. Paying attention to this small maintenance item helps avoid impaired visibility from malfunctioning washers on the road.

Living in a cold region, it's crucial to prevent windshield washer fluid from freezing. After the car cools down, open the reservoir cap to drain the fluid or use a pump to empty the lines, ensuring zero residue. Perform antifreeze maintenance before winter.

What Causes Noise When the Car Air Conditioning is Turned On?

Car air conditioning system noises can be categorized based on different sounds: 1. Metal friction sound caused by the engagement of the compressor electromagnetic clutch; 2. Squeaking sound due to excessive force on the air conditioning belt, both of which occur only when accelerating with the air conditioning on; 3. Malfunction of the electromagnetic clutch itself. Solutions: If there is a lack of refrigerant, first recover the refrigerant from the air conditioning system, evacuate the system, add sufficient refrigerant oil, then recharge with refrigerant, and run the car with the air conditioning on for a while to allow the refrigerant oil to circulate fully in the system. If the friction is severe, the compressor may also need to be replaced.
