Top up your windscreen washer fluid from the comfort of your home. This simple maintenance task requires no tools and should take no longer than 5-minutes to complete.

Whether you're exploring the wild outdoors or simply going about your business in the urban jungle, sooner or later you're going to run low on windscreen washer fluid. This fluid is critical to your safety and helps ensure that you have an unobstructed view of the road. 

If your washer fluid is depleted, there's no need to take your car to the garage or dealership as it's a simple maintenance task that anyone can tackle, even if you've never worked on a car before.

Here's how you do it:

 

You will need:

- Approx. 1-litre clean water. It's a good idea to use water that has been boiled and then allowed to cool.

- A few drops of washer fluid or alternatively, dish wash liquid.

- 5 minutes to spare

 

How to:

 

1. Open the bonnet and secure it using the provided stay.

 

2. Locate the washer reservoir cap. On the Duster, it's located at the back right, in front of the passenger.

 

3. Open the cap by pulling on the tab side of the cap.

 

4. Add water until approx 1cm from the top of the container. Add a few drops of washer fluid/dish soap.

 

5. Replace the cap and ensure it is secured.

 

6. Test the system with the ignition in the AUX position.

 

7. Close the bonnet.
