The container for the windscreen washer
contains the cleaning fluid for the windscreen
or rear window and the headlight washer
system. The container is located in the engine
compartment.
The capacity of the reservoir is approximate-
ly 3.5 litres; in vehicles with a headlight wash-
er system, it is approximately 5.4 litres
1)
Valid only for certain countries. 5.4 litres for
both versions.
Checking and refilling levels
Plain water on its own is not enough to clean
the glass and the headlights properly. We
therefore recommend using clean water with
a glass cleaning product to eliminate any
stubborn dirt (with an anti-freeze additive
in winter).
Although your vehicle has heated windscreen
washer jets, anti-freeze should always be
added to the water in winter.
Ethanol can be used where glass cleaner
with anti-freeze is unavailable. The concen-
tration of ethanol must be no greater than 15
%. However, remember that anti-freeze in this
proportion only protects down to -5°C
(+23°F).
CAUTION
Never mix the windscreen washing water
●
with anti-freeze used for the cooling sys-
tem or other additives.
If the vehicle is equipped with a headlight
●
washer system, only mix in with the water a
detergent that does not damage polycar-
bonates.
Note
When topping up the fluid, do not move the
1) .
filter from the container opening, as this
could contaminate the fluid hoses and lead
to a windscreen washer malfunction.
