Reasons why the car wiper is not spraying water: 1. Clogged pipeline; 2. The windshield washer fluid container has too little water or is empty. The correct approach is to open the inlet for refilling windshield washer fluid, then turn on the wiper spray switch. Since both sides are now clear, the air inside the pipe can easily be expelled. Once the air is expelled, the windshield washer fluid in the container will naturally be pushed up. Car wipers, also known as windshield wipers, are devices used to wipe away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety.

I encountered the same issue last winter while driving on the highway—the windshield washer wouldn’t spray, leaving the windshield blurry. Don’t panic; it’s likely just an empty washer fluid reservoir. I checked the tank and found it dry, so adding water fixed it. If the tank has fluid, listen for the pump motor sound when activating the washer. If you hear it, the nozzle might be clogged—gently clear it with a fine needle. No sound? It could be a blown fuse or a faulty pump motor, which requires a repair shop visit. In winter, always use antifreeze washer fluid to prevent frozen lines. Once, I discovered a loose hose connection was leaking, soaking the entire engine bay. These minor fixes are DIY-friendly, but a broken motor could cost over a hundred to replace.

What should be noted for safe driving in extremely cold weather conditions?

Here are the key points to note for safe driving in extremely cold weather conditions: 1. Pay attention to the warm-up procedure: First depress the clutch, then start the car. This allows the car to lubricate in advance, thus avoiding damage to the vehicle. 2. Always check the car's tires before driving: In winter, tires may freeze, so if such a situation is observed, clean them promptly to ensure safe driving. 3. Winter driving: It is essential to be more focused and avoid distractions, as roads in winter may inevitably have some ice and snow. 4. Avoid speeding in snowy conditions: On snowy winter days, it's best not to drive on highways and certainly avoid speeding.

What is the fuel consumption of the new Ford Edge?

The new Ford Edge has a total of 6 models on sale, including the 2020 EcoBoost245 two-wheel-drive Enjoy version, the 2020 EcoBoost245 two-wheel-drive Shine version, and other 6 models equipped with a 248 horsepower engine. The NEDC fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 7.3L. The fuel tank capacity of different models of the new Ford Edge varies. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 248 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 63L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is 63/7.3*100=863KM. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors, namely driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. The specific factors that increase car fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Rough driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when encountering a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement generally means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and do work. Cars with greater self-weight will have higher fuel consumption because greater self-weight requires larger driving torque. Road conditions: Dirt roads, muddy roads, soft roads, mountain roads, etc. Driving on these roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during cold starts is not easy to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. At the same time, when the temperature is low, the engine computer will control the car to use higher RPM to warm up, which will also increase fuel consumption.
