The question likely refers to refilling the windshield washer fluid reservoir in a car, not putting water in a car wash machine. Here's how to refill your windshield washer fluid:
-
Locate the Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir: This is usually a translucent plastic container with a windshield wiper symbol on the cap. It's typically located in the engine compartment. Check your car's owner's manual if you're unsure where to find it.
-
Open the Reservoir Cap: Unscrew or pop open the cap of the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
-
Add Washer Fluid: Pour windshield washer fluid into the reservoir until it's nearly full. Leave a small amount of space to prevent overflow and allow for expansion and contraction.
-
Close the Cap: Securely close the reservoir cap.
It's important to use windshield washer fluid, not just plain water. Washer fluid is formulated with detergents to help clean your windshield effectively, and it often contains antifreeze to prevent freezing in cold weather. As the provided video excerpt mentions, leaving a small air pocket is beneficial; otherwise, pressure could build and potentially damage the reservoir.
