Wiper blades and washer fluid
- The wipers and the washer fluid are designed to improve visibility.
- The windshield washer nozzles are integrated into the upper side of the wiper arm. Washer fluid is supplied when washing is activated and the wiper arms begin moving.
- The integrated washer nozzles in the wiper arm help provide more effective washing at different speeds and in different weather conditions, such as in strong winds. They can also help reduce the risk of impaired visibility for the driver, which is a common problem with traditional windshield washing methods. This type of integrated washing nozzle also provides more efficient washer fluid consumption.
- The washer fluid nozzles* automatically heat up in cold weather to prevent the washer fluid from freezing.
- When there is approximately 1 liter (1 qt) of washer fluid remaining, a message to refill will appear in the instrument panel.
