Windscreen Washers

Petrol models
Check the fluid level in the

monthly during normal use.
Check the reservoir's fluid level as
follows:
1. Unfasten the reservoir cap.
2. Pull up the cap until the tube is
fully exposed.

3. Check the fluid trace on the tube.
If the fluid level is low, fill the
reservoir with windscreen washer
fluid.
Fill the reservoir with a good-quality
windscreen washer fluid. This
increases the cleaning capability and
prevents freezing in cold weather.
When you refill the reservoir, clean
the edges of the windscreen wiper
blades with windscreen washer fluid
on a clean cloth. This will help to
condition them.
Do not use engine antifreeze or a
vinegar/water solution in the
windscreen washer reservoir.
Antifreeze can damage your vehicle's
paint, while a vinegar/water solution
can damage the windscreen washer
pump. Use only commercially-
available windscreen washer fluid.
