Adjusting the injectors
Warning! The nozzle must not be adjusted with a hardened needle, as the broken tip of the needle may get stuck in the nozzle hole and the nozzle will have to be replaced.
1. Insert the needle into the hole of the front windshield washer nozzle and turn it.
2. We turn the jets so that the inner jets of liquid hit the middle of the upper third of the windshield, and the outer ones - just below the middle.
3. Adjust the rear window washer nozzle in the same way.

4. Turn the nozzle so that the stream of washer fluid hits the glass near the middle of the brush.
Replacing injectors
Note: If the fluid stream is weak from all nozzles, this may be due to insufficient washer fluid in the reservoir, damage to the washer tubes, or a malfunction of the washer pumps.
