Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid in the Discovery Sport?
2 Answers
In the Discovery Sport, the windshield washer fluid is added to the washer fluid reservoir located on the right side of the engine compartment. Simply open the reservoir cap to refill with new washer fluid. The functions of windshield washer fluid include: 1. Cleaning debris from the windshield; 2. Lowering the freezing point of the liquid; 3. Ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent for optimal visibility; 4. Eliminating static charges on the glass surface; 5. Reducing friction between the wipers and glass to prevent scratches. Taking the 2019 Discovery Sport as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 4599mm, width 1894mm, height 1724mm, and a wheelbase of 2741mm.
As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, even I had trouble finding the washer fluid reservoir on my Discovery Sport the first time. It's located on the left side of the engine compartment - look for a blue cap with a windshield wiper symbol, slightly lighter in color than the oil filler cap. Simply lift the cap to use a funnel for refilling, but be careful not to mistakenly pour into the coolant reservoir. I recommend switching to winter-grade washer fluid in cold seasons, with a freezing point about 10°C lower than your local minimum temperature. The reservoir takes about 3-4 liters to fill completely - those large jugs from supermarkets work perfectly. Pro tip: if your washer jets aren't spraying, always check for clogged nozzles first before rushing to the mechanic.
