WINDSCREEN WASHER TOP-UP
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 and rear
screen washer jets and headlight washer jets
*.
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: 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.
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
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 headlight washers are supplied by the windscreen washer
reservoir. The washer jets are set during manufacture and although
they should not require adjustment, if necessary they can be
adjusted by pivoting the washer body in its socket.
