Where is the windshield washer fluid added in a Changan car?

Windshield washer fluid is located at the left edge of the engine compartment. The method of adding windshield washer fluid is very simple, and car owners can do it themselves. In northern regions, antifreeze-type windshield washer fluid should be selected, while in southern regions, windshield washer fluid with added insecticide components can be used. The refill capacity for Changan CS35 windshield washer fluid is 3.3L, and the washer fluid tank capacity is approximately 3.8L. After opening the hood, you need to locate the windshield washer fluid reservoir. Most cars have a universal indicator symbol on the washer fluid reservoir cap, which is the same for all vehicles globally. Simply open the reservoir cap to add the windshield washer fluid. Generally, about 2 liters need to be added. There is a dipstick inside the reservoir; add the fluid while checking the level, and stop when it reaches the marked line to avoid overflow and unnecessary waste.
I usually do car maintenance myself, and adding windshield washer fluid is a simple task. Open the hood of the Changan car, and you'll find a blue plastic cap with a spray symbol on the reservoir located at the front left or right corner of the engine bay. Be careful not to confuse it with the pink cap of the coolant. Always use a funnel when pouring the washer fluid to avoid spilling it on the engine. In winter, make sure to use antifreeze-type fluid, preferably rated for -25°C to be safe. Once, I added regular water, and it froze, blocking the spray—I had to replace it with proper antifreeze washer fluid later. For daily use, fill the reservoir about two-thirds full to leave room for thermal expansion. Check the fluid level regularly and clean the wiper blades while you're at it. These small DIY maintenance tasks are cost-effective and help extend the lifespan of car components.
