Troubleshooting
Windscreen still dirty after washing
Ensure the correct dilution ratio is used for the current weather conditions. For heavy grime, a second wash cycle might be necessary. Check wiper blades for wear and tear, as damaged blades can impair cleaning effectiveness.
Washer fluid freezing in cold weather
Increase the concentration of screenwash in the mixture. For temperatures below freezing, use a 50% mix (1 part screenwash to 1 part water). In extreme cold, use the concentrate neat.
Unpleasant smell from the washer system
The cherry fragrance should help mask odors. If a persistent unpleasant smell remains, it might indicate an issue within the washer system itself. Ensure the system is flushed and refilled with the correct mixture.
