Where is the windshield washer fluid switch for MG ZS?
2 Answers
For the MG ZS, open the engine hood and locate a light blue cap in the front right section of the engine compartment. Open this cap and pour in the windshield washer fluid. Windshield washer fluid refill procedure: First, use the wiper switch knob to expel the remaining old washer fluid. Once the old fluid is completely drained, locate the washer fluid filler port. Add a small amount of new washer fluid initially. When the spray nozzles stop emitting fluid during the second activation, proceed to fill the reservoir with approximately 4 liters of washer fluid. Finally, securely close the cap to complete the refill process. Precautions for using windshield washer fluid: During summer when there's more dust, add about one bottle cap's worth of dish detergent to the mixture, but avoid excessive amounts as too many bubbles can make cleaning difficult. In colder winter temperatures, adding more alcohol can help lower the solution's freezing point.
I haven't been driving for long, and at first, I couldn't find the windshield washer switch for the MG ZS either—it was quite a hassle. It's on the right-hand stalk behind the steering wheel, a small button at the very end of the grip. Just pull it back, and the water sprays to clean the front windshield. If it doesn't work, quickly check the washer fluid reservoir—there's a small blue-capped tank under the hood. If it's low, you'll need to top it up. This stuff is pretty important—once on the highway, my windshield got so dirty I couldn't see the road clearly, and I had a minor scare, almost rear-ending someone. Remember to use different antifreeze washer fluids in winter and summer to avoid fogging or freezing. During maintenance, take a quick look at the fuse box—don't wait until it fails to act. Safety first.
