Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid in the Leiling?

Leiling's windshield washer fluid filling location: Open the engine hood, and at the lower left corner, there is a cap with a windshield wiper spray symbol—this is the filling port. Open the cap and add purified water or windshield washer fluid. Automobile windshield washer fluid, commonly known as windshield fluid, is primarily composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. The Leiling is a compact sedan based on Toyota's MC platform, deeply customized for Chinese consumers. The car measures 4640 mm in length, 1780 mm in width, and 1455 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. In terms of suspension, the Leiling features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
Adding windshield washer fluid to a Leiling is very simple. Open the hood release switch under the left side of the driver's seat, hear the click, then go to the front of the car, reach into the hood gap, feel for a latch and lift it up to open the hood. The washer fluid reservoir is located behind the left headlight, with a blue plastic cap marked with a wiper symbol. Just pour in the $5 two-bottle washer fluid from the supermarket until you see the liquid level—don’t overfill, as there’s a max fill line at the opening. My family’s Leiling gets its washer fluid sprayed recklessly by my son every summer, so I always buy the family-sized packs. Remember, never pour it into the pink coolant reservoir, which is positioned in the middle and looks completely different—mixing them up can cause serious problems.
You don't need to go to a repair shop to add windshield washer fluid. Just look for the hood release under the steering wheel on the driver's side, pull it, and you'll hear a pop sound. Then go to the front of the car, lift the hood, and the blue-capped reservoir in the left corner is where you add it. It's recommended to keep a bottle of concentrated windshield washer fluid in your car—just mix it with tap water before use. Especially in summer when there's more bird droppings and tree sap, you'll use more fluid and go through it quickly. Last time I ran out of washer fluid on my way home from overtime work, I used mineral water as a temporary solution, though its cleaning power isn't as good. Remember to top it up after rainy days—when the car in front splashes mud, your entire windshield gets covered in spots. A few sprays will clear it right up.
