Should the windscreen washer be activated when the front windscreen is covered with snow?
Safe driving
Explanation
The **windshield washer** is a device that sprays a jet of liquid onto the front glass to help the **windshield wiper** clean better. However, it is important not to use it when the glass is covered with snow.
- Using the windshield washer in these conditions can cause the system to stop functioning properly. This is because the snow can obstruct the movement of the windshield wiper blades, which could damage the motor or the system's mechanisms.
- Additionally, the windshield washer is designed to clean the glass of dirt or water, not to melt snow. Therefore, it is not effective for this purpose.
To keep the system in good condition and ensure good visibility, it is better to **remove the snow manually** from the glass before using the windshield washer.
