Nozzle adjustment
Warning! Nozzle adjustment cannot be done with a hardened needle, as the broken tip of the needle may get stuck in the jet hole, the nozzle will have to be replaced.
1. Insert the needle into the hole in the front washer jet and turn it.
2. We turn the jets in such a way that the inner jets of liquid fall into the middle of the upper third of the windshield, and the outer ones - just below the middle.
3. Similarly adjust the rear window washer jet.

4. We turn the jet so that the jet of washer fluid hits the glass near the middle of the brush.
Nozzle replacement
Comment. If the fluid jet is weak from all nozzles, this may be due to insufficient washer fluid in the reservoir, damaged washer tubes, or malfunctioning washer pumps.
