Checking the windshield and headlight washer fluid levels (Mazda 3 BK)

Fill the windshield washer reservoir only with special liquid intended for the washer. or clean water. It is dangerous to fill the windshield washer with low-freezing coolant, since if it gets on the windshield, visibility will be impaired, which can lead to a traffic accident.



Check the fluid level in the windshield washer reservoir and top it up if necessary (fig. 1.179).

To check the fluid level in the front washer reservoir, remove the cap from the reservoir neck. Then close the hole in the center of the cap with your finger and lift it. The fluid level in the washer reservoir corresponds to the height of the liquid column in the transparent tube attached to the cap. Add washer fluid if necessary. Instead of washer fluid, at positive ambient temperatures, you can fill the reservoir with ordinary clean water. At negative ambient temperatures, use only low-freezing washer fluid.

Note: The windshield and liftgate glass washers use fluid from the same reservoir.
