To add windshield washer fluid, open the engine hood and locate the washer fluid filler cap at the front left side of the vehicle, then pour directly. Below is relevant information: 1. Function: When refilling, using a mixture of washer fluid and water helps prevent the solution from freezing in cold weather and improves cleaning performance. 2. Categories: Generally, windshield washer fluids on the market fall into three main types. The first is for summer use, which contains additional insect removal agents in its formula to quickly eliminate insect residues on the windshield. The second type is winter-grade antifreeze washer fluid, ensuring it won't freeze or damage vehicle components even when temperatures drop below -20°C. The third type is special extreme antifreeze washer fluid, which remains unfrozen at -40°C, making it suitable for use in the coldest regions of northern China.
I've been driving a Ford Focus for ten years. The windshield washer fluid reservoir is under the hood. After opening it, look towards the left or right front of the car—there's usually a blue plastic cap with a扇形喷水 icon printed on it, which is easy to identify. The location varies slightly depending on the model year; my older model has it on the left front, while newer models might have it on the right front, but the标志都一样清晰. When adding fluid, first park and turn off the engine for safety. Pour专用玻璃水 without exceeding the MAX line, leaving some space to prevent overflow. I use防冻 windshield washer fluid, which doesn’t freeze in winter and provides better cleaning—普通水 can clog the nozzles. Check the fluid level regularly and top it up monthly to ensure the清洗系统 functions properly and doesn’t affect visibility during rain. Developing this habit can save on repair costs—it’s practical and hassle-free.
When I first got my Ford Focus, I was completely clueless about where to add windshield washer fluid. Later, by doing it myself, I figured it out: open the hood, and in the front right corner of the engine compartment, you'll see a small blue cap with a windshield wiper symbol—that's the washer fluid reservoir. The process is simple: just twist off the cap and pour in the cleaning fluid, being careful not to spill any outside to prevent corrosion. As a newbie, I recommend checking the owner's manual first; it has diagrams that clearly mark the location, or you can take a photo with your phone for easy reference. Now I know to do it with the engine off, which is safer and more efficient. This small detail helped me avoid a mistake in a hurry, and I've made it a habit to check regularly and top it up when the level is low, ensuring clear visibility in rainy conditions for safe driving.
