– Top up fluid in window wash/wipe system (only if customer
requests to do so).
Use genuine washer fluid ⇒ ETKA throughout all year to fill win‐
dow wash/wipe system.
Depending on season, a winter product with anti-freeze protection
or a summer product with increased cleaning capabilities should
be used.
Ready-to-use window cleaner (Ready Mix) does not need to be
mixed with water.
Note
Genuine washer fluid ⇒ ETKA prevents the spray jets, washer
fluid reservoirs and connecting hoses from freezing.
In vehicles with fan jets, the reservoir must be filled with Gen‐
uine washer fluid, as this fluid has a low viscosity at tempera‐
tures below freezing. Otherwise the complicated spray jet
system can become blocked by the crystallised washer fluid,
which affects the spray pattern of the spray jet. Genuine wash‐
er fluid ensures that the fan jets remain fully functional at low
temperatures.
Genuine washer fluid ⇒ ETKA can also be used in the sum‐
mer. The powerful cleanser easily removes wax and oil resi‐
due from the glass.
Frost protection must be guaranteed to approx. -25°C (approx.
-35°C in countries with an arctic climate) in the windscreen
wash/wipe system.
