Keeping the road ahead of you visible is one of the first steps to being a safer driver. Unwanted and unnecessary debris (not counting chips or cracks) on your windscreen can hamper your forward visibility. This will hinder your ability to see other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and other obstacles that you would want to avoid. A dirty windscreen can even alter your depth perception.
Clearing the windscreen of dirt and debris is the job of the windscreen wipers but their work is made easier with the windscreen washer fluid. Low or insufficient windscreen washer fluid prevents the wipers form doing their job effectively.

Here's how you can refill your windscreen washer fluid in only a matter of minutes.
You will need:
- Washer fluid (fresh water and a few drops of dish soap will also work)
- 5-minutes to spare.
How to:
1. Locate the catch for your bonnet and pull to release the bonnet.
2. Lift open the bonnet and support it with the provided stay.
3. Locate the washer fluid reservoir. On the Mokka it will be to your right, ahead of the passenger. Look for the black cap with the washer icon on it.
4. Open the cap and fill with the washer fluid.
5. Replace the cap and close the bonnet.
6. Test the system.
