Checking Windshield Washer Fluid and Replacing Windshield
Wipers
Maintaining
your vehicle is essential for safety and performance. One important aspect of
car maintenance is ensuring that your windshield washer fluid (жидкость для обмыва
стекла) is at the correct level and that your windshield wipers are functioning
properly. Here’s a step-by-step guide (пошаговая инструкция) on how to check
the washer fluid and replace wiper blades.
Checking Windshield Washer Fluid
1. Open the Hood: Start by locating the hood release lever inside your car.
Pull the lever, then go to the front of the car and lift the hood.
2. Find the Washer Fluid Reservoir: Look for a translucent container, usually
marked with a windshield symbol and the words "washer fluid." This
container is typically located near the engine compartment.
3. Check Fluid Level: Check the fluid level by looking at the markings on the
side of the reservoir. If the fluid is below the "MIN" line, it’s
time to refill.
4. Refill if Necessary: If the washer fluid is low, use a funnel (воронка) to
pour the washer fluid into the reservoir. Make sure you use a fluid that is
appropriate for your climate (antifreeze solutions for cold weather).
Replacing Windshield Wipers
1. Gather Necessary Tools: You will need new wiper blades (щётка
стеклоочистителя), which can be purchased at automotive stores, and possibly a
flathead screwdriver.
2. Lift the Wiper Arm (рычаг стеклоочистителя): Gently lift the wiper arm away
from the windshield until it is vertical.
3. Remove the Old Wiper Blade: Locate the release tab on the wiper blade. Press
the tab and slide the blade downwards to remove it from the wiper arm.
4. Attach the New Wiper Blade: Take the new wiper blade and slide it onto the
wiper arm until you hear a click, indicating it is securely attached.
5. Lower the Wiper Arm: Gently lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield.
Repeat the process for the other wiper blade if necessary.
6. Test the Wipers: Start your car and activate the wipers to ensure they are
functioning correctly.
