reservoir.

The windscreen washer and the headlight washing system are supplied with

fluid from the windscreen washer fluid container in the engine compartment.

The container holds approx. 2 litres; in vehicles with headlamp washers* it

holds approx. 4.5 litres.

The reservoir is located on the right-hand side of the engine compartment.

Plain water is not enough to clean the windscreen and headlights. We recom-

mend that you always add a product to the windscreen washer fluid.

Approved windscreen cleaning products exist on the market with high deter-

gent and anti-freeze properties, these may be added all-year-round. Please

follow the dilution instructions on the packaging.

Changing windscreen wiper blades

workshop and corrected if necessary.
