Windscreen washer fluid
Fig. 1 In the engine compartment: washer fluid reservoir
cap.
The windscreen washer fluid level should be checked regularly and topped up as necessary.
A filter can be found in the feed throat of the washer fluid reservoir. The strainer keeps larger dirt particles away from
the washer jets when refilling. The filter should only be removed for cleaning. If the filter is damaged or cannot be
found when refilling, dirt particles will reach the system and will block the washer jets.
1. Open the bonnet (→ In the engine compartment).
The washer fluid reservoir is identified by the symbol on the cap→ Fig. 1.
2. Check whether there is enough windscreen washer fluid in the reservoir.
3. To add fluid, mix clear water, but not distilled water, with suitable windscreen washer fluid→ . Observe the
dilution instructions on the packaging.
4. At low outside temperatures, add a special anti-freeze agent so that the fluid cannot freeze→
.
WARNING
If coolant additive or similar unsuitable additives are mixed with the washer fluid, this can result in an oily film on
the window that considerably impairs visibility.
● Use clean, clear water, but not distilled water, with a suitable windscreen washer fluid.
● Add a suitable antifreeze agent to the washer fluid if necessary.
NOTICE
Mixing cleaning agents incorrectly can cause the ingredients to separate and block the washer jets.
● Never use unsuitable cleaning agents.
