Washer fluid and windscreen wiper blades
Windscreen washer system
Plain water on its own is not sufficient for the windscreen
washer system.
The container for the windscreen washer contains the cleaning fluid for the
windscreen and the headlight washer system*. The container is located in the
engine compartment (front left). The filler cap is marked with the symbol
⇒ fig.
168.
The capacity of the container is listed in ⇒ page 282.
Plain water on its own is not enough to clean the glass properly. It is therefore
advisable to add a suitable washer fluid additive (with wax solvent) to the
water. A washer fluid with freeze-resistant additive should be used in winter.
Caution
•
Never put radiator anti-freeze or other additives into the windscreen
washer fluid.
•
Never use washer fluid which contains paint thinners or solvents as it can
damage the paintwork.
