Where is the window spray button?

Windows do not have a spray function; only the windshield has a spray function. The main functions of the windshield are: 1. To provide timely visibility of external conditions for the vehicle occupants, enhancing their field of vision; 2. To shield against wind and rain. In the daily maintenance of the car windshield, it is necessary to choose the appropriate windshield washer fluid according to different seasons and weather conditions. The production of automotive glass involves heating the glass in a furnace to near its softening temperature, then rapidly transferring it to air grids with varying cooling intensities for uneven cooling. This process creates different stress levels between the main viewing area and the peripheral areas of the glass, resulting in what is known as zone-tempered glass.
The windshield washer button is usually located on the wiper control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. A gentle pull backward or press will activate it. From my years of driving experience, I've noticed most car designs follow this pattern—Japanese and German cars often integrate it into this stalk, positioned close to the steering wheel for easy operation without distraction. However, in some older models or luxury vehicles, it might be placed below the dashboard or in a separate button panel, so checking the manual is essential. Why does this matter? Because it enables quick windshield cleaning, improving visibility during rain or bug season. Remember to regularly check the washer fluid level to avoid dry operation that could damage the pump motor. It's safer to test the washer while parked rather than while driving to prevent distractions. In short, knowing your car's specifics is crucial—when in doubt, consult the manual or ask a professional.
