What kind of windshield washer fluid does Mercedes-Benz use to avoid triggering an alarm?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz uses windshield washer fluid with sufficient electrolytes to avoid triggering an alarm. Reasons for the "Please refill washer fluid" fault in Mercedes-Benz: When a Mercedes-Benz displays "Refill washer fluid," it means the system has detected a low level of windshield washer fluid. Insufficient fluid can prevent the washer from spraying properly during windshield cleaning, creating a driving hazard. When this warning appears, it is necessary to add windshield washer fluid. Another possible cause is the use of non-compliant washer fluid, which triggers an alarm on the dashboard. Replacing it with new, compliant washer fluid can resolve the issue. This happens because the washer fluid is "too clean." Mercedes-Benz models are equipped with a capacitive windshield washer fluid level sensor, which requires sufficient electrolytes in the fluid to function properly. If there are too few electrolytes, the sensor cannot detect the fluid level, leading to an alarm. How vehicle windshield washer fluid works: The working principle of vehicle windshield washer fluid involves a pump motor located at the bottom of the washer fluid reservoir. When activated via the wiper combination switch, the pump motor operates, drawing the fluid from the reservoir and pressurizing it to spray out through the windshield nozzles. This process, combined with the vehicle's wipers, cleans the front and rear windshields.
