Container For Windshield Washer Fluid; Brake Fluid Reservoir - Volkswagen Beetle 1977 Owner's Manual

Container for windshield washer fluid (1)
The capacity of the windshield washer
container is listed on page 61.
To add washer fluid, just unscrew the
filler cap. The container can be filled to
the top.
As clear water is usually not adequate
for cleaning the windshield, add a clean-
ing solution to the water such as Volks-
wagen's Windshield Washer Anti-Freeze
& Solvent. It is a concentrate, so follow
the directions on the can for the correct
amount to be used.
Beetle
You can use Volkswagen's Windshield
Washer Anti-Freeze & Solvent all year.
It helps to keep your windshield clean,
and prevents freezing of the washer fluid
in the winter.
Since the spare tire supplies the pressure
to operate the washer, it should always
be kept up to a pressure of 42 psi (3.0 kg/
cm
2
). To pressurize the spare tire, see
page 36.
Convertible
Brake fluid reservoir (2)
The brake fluid should always be above
the seam edge near the top of the reser-
voir. If it drops below this point, the
cause should be corrected by your Au-
thorized Volkswagen Dealer.
Every 2 years, the brake fluid has to be
replaced.
See also Warranty and Maintenance
booklet.
Only new, unused brake fluid that meets
the SAE recommendation J 1703 and
conforms to Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard 116 must be used.
