Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid in the JADE?

JADE's windshield washer fluid reservoir is located on the right side of the engine compartment, marked with a wiper symbol on its cap. Simply open this cap to refill. Windshield washer fluid, commonly referred to as 'glass water' in automotive terms, is a consumable item used for cleaning the vehicle's windshield. High-quality windshield washer fluid primarily consists of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. Due to different freezing points, there are two types of washer fluids: winter and summer formulations. The JADE is a station wagon under Honda's lineup, featuring a redesigned front bumper for a more sporty appearance. It measures 4660mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1500mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2760mm. Powering the JADE is the same 1.8L i-VTEC engine found in the Civic, delivering a maximum power output of 141 horsepower and a peak torque of 174Nm. This engine is paired with either a 5-speed automatic or a CVT transmission.

I recently topped up the windshield washer fluid for my Honda Jade, and it was actually quite simple. After opening the hood, you can spot a small blue plastic cap above the left front wheel, marked with the windshield washer symbol. Just unscrew the cap and carefully pour in the washer fluid using a funnel or directly. Remember not to overfill—leave some space—and check the rubber gasket for any damage before tightening the cap. Personally, I prefer using concentrated washer fluid from the supermarket, diluted with water. In summer, I opt for bug-removing formula, while in winter, I always use the -20°C antifreeze type. At first, I was worried about pouring it into the wrong place, but I later realized it's a fair distance from the brake fluid reservoir—just look for that blue symbol and you won’t mix them up.

As someone in the auto repair industry, the windshield washer fluid refill location on the Honda Jade is actually quite standard. First, turn off the engine and pull the hood release lever under the steering wheel. Then, go to the front of the car, reach in to locate the latch and lift the hood. On the left side near the base of the windshield, you'll find a blue plastic cap with a fan-shaped water ripple symbol—that's the washer fluid reservoir. Unscrew it, and I recommend using a dedicated funnel to avoid spills. Important reminder: never use tap water as a substitute, as minerals can clog the washer nozzles and it may freeze, potentially cracking the reservoir. Regularly cleaning the nozzles with a fine needle is also crucial. The washer fluid tank has a capacity of about 3 liters—pay attention to the level markings when refilling.

I've been driving this Jade for five years and always refill the windshield washer fluid myself. The reservoir is located on the driver's side of the engine compartment, near the windshield when you pop the hood. The most noticeable feature is its sky-blue cap with a water spray wave pattern. When refilling, I prepare a 1.8-liter bottle of washer fluid in advance and pour slowly until I hear the sound change in the reservoir. It's best to do this on sunny days for better visibility of the fluid level. In winter, opt for -30°C antifreeze fluid - last year during a cold snap, my nozzles froze with regular fluid. Keep an eye on the washer fluid warning light on the dashboard; refill when it illuminates.
