What is the symbol for adding windshield washer fluid?

There is a spray pattern on the blue plastic cap, and the inlet for adding windshield washer fluid has corresponding markings. Locate this marking to add the fluid. Below are the functions and selection criteria for windshield washer fluid: Functions of windshield washer fluid: Windshield washer fluid typically has wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing functions, thereby serving to clean and remove dirt. The presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid, providing antifreeze properties and quickly dissolving frost. Selection of windshield washer fluid: In autumn and winter, windshield washer fluid should have excellent cleaning and antifreeze performance. Winter windshield washer fluid is selected based on its antifreeze properties, and you should choose a fluid with a freezing point at least 10 degrees Celsius below the local minimum temperature.
The windshield washer fluid symbol is a spray or wiper icon that's easily visible after opening the hood, typically featuring a blue cap with water droplet or spray patterns. When I first started driving, I got confused too - couldn't find it and accidentally poured into the coolant reservoir, which almost caused problems. Later, a friend showed me it's located near the front wheels with a distinctly colored cap. Remember to top up washer fluid regularly: use antifreeze type in winter to prevent freezing, and standard type in summer. It's not just about keeping the windshield clean - clear visibility is crucial for road safety. If you can't locate it, check your vehicle manual or ask someone knowledgeable rather than tampering with other components.
