Checking the level of the window
washer tank and refilling it

of the windscreen washer tank.
Check the water level in the windscreen washer
reservoir regularly and top up as required.
The window washer tank contains liquid deter-
gent for the windscreen and rear window.
There is a sieve in the filler neck of the washer
fluid tank. When filling the tank, this sieve re-
tains large dirt particles so that they do not
reach the nozzles. Do not remove the sieve ex-
cept for cleaning. If the sieve is damaged or
not fitted, these dirt particles could enter the
system during filling and clog the windscreen
washer nozzles.
