When the windscreen washer fluid symbol appears on your dashboard, it means the windscreen washer fluid reservoir is almost empty. You can recognise the washer fluid symbol by an icon showing a windscreen with spray jets above it.
This warning light tells you to top up the fluid as soon as possible, so you always have a clear view while driving.
Always use good-quality windscreen washer fluid that is suitable for the season. In winter, an antifreeze version is important to prevent the lines and nozzles from freezing.
Check the level regularly, especially before long journeys or during changeable weather, to avoid problems.
If the washer fluid warning light remains on after refilling, this may indicate a faulty sensor, a leak or contamination inside the reservoir. In that case, check the system or have it inspected by a garage.
This prevents the warning light from staying on unnecessarily and helps ensure good visibility and safe driving.
