Today, we will see how to add windscreen washer fluid to the reservoir of our Smart Fortwo. After releasing the two levers at the end of the grille near the front bonnet, simply remove the plastic part to locate the washer fluid reservoir.

Next to the engine water reservoir, you will find the washer fluid reservoir, identifiable by the symbol on the cap. Now, open it to add the fluid, being careful not to use only water to avoid limescale build-up. Once this step is completed, replace the plastic cover of the bonnet and close the securing levers.
