Checking the level of the window
washer tank and refilling it
Fig.182 In the engine compartment: blue cap
of the windscr
een washer tank.
Check the water level in the windscreen washer
r
eservoir regularly and top up as required.
The window washer tank contains liquid deter-
gent for the windscreen and rear window.
There is a sieve in the filler neck of the washer
fluid tank. When filling the tank, this sieve re-
tains large dirt particles so that they do not
reach the nozzles. Do not remove the sieve ex-
cept for cleaning. If the sieve is damaged or
not fitted, these dirt particles could enter the
system during filling and clog the windscreen
washer nozzles.

The windscreen washer reservoir is marked
with the symbol on the cap.

Check if there is enough fluid in the t
ank.
Plain water is not enough to clean the wind-
screen and headlights. We recommend that
you always add a product to the windscreen
washer fluid.
Recommended windscreen wipers
●
For the hottest seasons we recommend sum-
mer G 052 184 A1 for clear glass. Proportions of
the mixture in the washer fluid tank: 1:100 (1 part
concentrate per 100 parts water).
●
All year round, G 052 164 A2 for clear glass.
Approximate proportion of the winter mixture,
up to -18°C (0°F): 1:2 (1 part concentrate per
2 parts water); otherwise, a 1:4 proportion of
mixture in the washer fluid tank.
The capacity of the windscreen washer tank is
approximately 3 litres.
