Windscreen washer system

Read and observe
The windscreen washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compart-
ment » Fig. 162.
188
This contains the cleaning fluid for the windscreen or rear window and for the
184
headlight cleaning system.
187
The capacity of the reservoir is about 3 litres or about 5.5 litres on vehicles that
186
have a headlight cleaning system
189
Clear water is not sufficient to intensively clean the windscreen and head-
189
lights. We recommend using clean water together with a screen cleaner from
the range of ŠKODA Original Accessories (with antifreeze in winter), which will
remove any stubborn dirt.
In Winter, the washing water should always be mixed with antifreeze even if
the vehicle has heated windscreen washer nozzles.
Under exceptional circumstances, methylated spirits can also be used if no
screen cleaner with antifreeze is available. The concentration of methylated
spirits must not be more than 15 %. The freeze protection at this concentration
is sufficient only to -5 °C.
