Operating windscreen washers
If the washer does not work, check the washer fluid level. If the fluid level is not sufficient, you will need to add appropriate non-abrasive windscreen washer fluid to the washer reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in the front of the motor compartment on the passenger side.
To prevent possible damage to the washer pump, do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir is empty.
Do not use the washer in freezing temperatures without first warming the windscreen with the defrosters; the washer solution could freeze on the windscreen and obscure your vision.
