Washer fluid is supplied to the windshield by moving the wiper/washer switch lever towards you (Fig. 1.22). Simultaneously with the supply of washing fluid, the windshield wipers are automatically switched on.
Caution! In cold weather, the washing fluid may freeze when it gets on the glass, which will lead to poor visibility. Before using the washing fluid, warm the glass with a heater or forced ventilation system (heater).
