Park your car. Ideally, you should do so on a level surface to help the engine bay cool. Wait for a few minutes, until the car hood is cool enough to rest your hand on.
Open the hood.
Look for the washer fluid reservoir. On most cars, the washer fluid reservoir is located at the back of the engine bay, near the base of the windshield. The tank is usually translucent, allowing you to see whether there is fluid in the reservoir or not.
Check the wiper fluid level. Many washer fluid reservoirs have marks to show the fluid level. If the tank is less than half-full, you'll need to refill it. Also, check the tank for cracks or leaks.
Uncap the washer fluid reservoir. The reservoir cap usually is designed to screw on and off.
Add washer fluid until the reservoir fluid level reaches the "full" mark. You may want to use a funnel to avoid spills. Once you've refilled the tank, replace the cap and close the hood.
Turn the car key to the "on" or "accessory" position. This will let you test the washers' performance by turning on your windshield wipers and then the washers. The washers should deliver a steady stream of fluid; if not, you may have to clean the washer nozzles and lines.
