WINDSCREEN WASHER TOP-UP
DO NOT use an anti-freeze
or vinegar/water solution
in the washer reservoir -
anti-freeze will damage painted
surfaces, while vinegar can
damage the windscreen washer
pump.
Some Screenwash
products are
inflammable, particularly if
high or undiluted concentrations
are exposed to sparks. Do not
allow screenwash to come into
contact with naked flames or
sources of ignition.
The windscreen washer reservoir supplies both front screen
washer jets and headlight washer jets (where fitted).
Check the reservoir level every week. To ensure proper
cleaning of the windscreen and to prevent freezing in cold
weather, top-up with a mixture of water and a proprietary
brand of screenwash. Preferably mix the recommended
quantities of water and screenwash in a separate container
before topping-up the system, and always follow the
instructions on the container.
Note that body panels may suffer discoloration as a result of
screenwash spillage. Take care to avoid spillage, particularly if
an undiluted or high concentration of screenwash is being
used. If spillage occurs, wash the affected area immediately
with water.
WASHER JETS
Operating tip: Operate the
washers periodically to check
that the nozzles are clear and
properly directed.
The windscreen washer jets are set during manufacture and
should not need adjusting. However, if adjustment is ever
necessary, insert a needle into the jet orifice and lever gently
to position each jet so that the spray is directed towards the
centre of the windscreen.
Should any jet become obstructed, insert a needle or thin
strand of wire into the orifice to clear the blockage.
HEADLIGHT WASHERS
*
The spray jets are set during manufacture and should not need
to be adjusted.
