Where is the headlight washer switch located?
1 Answers
The headlight washer switch is located on the panel below the headlight switch on the left side of the steering wheel. The headlight washer system consists of a water outlet positioned below the headlights, allowing for quick cleaning of dust and dirt on the headlights. To use the headlight washer system, turn on the headlights and pull the windshield wiper lever for a few seconds. This will activate the headlight washer, which then sprays water to clean dirt off the headlight covers. Note that the water sprayed by the headlight washer is actually windshield washer fluid. If the washer fluid is low, the headlight washer will not function and requires timely refilling. The headlight washer system is primarily used in vehicles equipped with xenon headlights. Xenon lights offer advantages such as energy efficiency, high brightness, comfortable high color temperature, and long lifespan. However, they also have drawbacks, including higher color temperature, which results in poorer penetration than halogen lights in rainy, foggy, or snowy conditions. When dust and dirt accumulate on the headlight covers, penetration becomes even worse, and some light is absorbed. Additionally, dust particles can scatter the light, making the headlight washer system essential in such cases. However, most vehicles' headlight washer systems do not include wipers, so after spraying, manual wiping is necessary to prevent residual stains from remaining on the headlight covers.
