The 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 wa
sher jets.
