Checking and topping up fluids

Windscreen washer
Plain water on its own is not sufficient for the windscreen
washer system.
Fig. 260 Engine
compartment: Wind-
screen washer
container
The container for the windscreen washer contains the cleaning
fluid for the windscreen and the headlight washer system*
⇒ fig. 260. Container capacity: ⇒ page 321.
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 addi-
tive should be used in winter.
Caution
• Never put in radiator anti-freeze or other additives.
• Never use washer fluid which contains paint thinners or solvents
as it can damage the paintwork.
