To avoid a possible error by the fluid level sensor, the proportion of alcohol
and water should be 35% alcohol and 65% water approximately.
We recommend you contact a Technical Service Centre for further advice.
Under no circumstances should you add coolant anti-freeze or other
additives.
K
Adjusting washer jets
The jet for the rear window washer is in the wiper shaft. The water
jet should hit the glass in the centre of the wiped area.
The jets for the windscreen washer and headlight washers* can
only be adjusted with a special tool. When adjustment is
necessary, contact your Technical Service Centre.
