Windshield Wiper/Washer System, Checking Washer Nozzle Adjustment And Adjusting, If Necessary

NOTE:

If the spray field is uneven due to contamination in the washer nozzle, remove the washer nozzle and flush it with water in the opposite direction of the spraying direction. Cleaning with compressed air in the opposite direction of the spraying direction is permitted afterward. Do not use any other objects to clean the washer nozzles.
