Filling the windshield washer with water (Mondeo 3)

ORDER OF EXECUTION

In summer, the windshield washer water supply should be constantly replenished. Adding a portion of cleaning agent significantly increases the washing effect. In winter, an additional anti-icing agent is added to the water solution or a ready-made "windshield cleaning" mixture is used.
To create a homogeneous mixture in the windshield washer reservoir, first add additional agents, and only then fill with the solution up to the ventilation hole.
At sub-zero temperatures, the windshield washer can freeze. Therefore, always "fill" your reservoir in the cold season about a third with an antifreeze (for example, denatured alcohol) or a "ready-made" cleaning solution. In order to also protect the wires and nozzles in serious situations, after the filling process, you should "pump" the windshield washer until the mixture appears on the glass and smells.

With filling indicator: locking cap for the windscreen washer reservoir.
