cant fill up windshield wiper fluid reservoir?

[BAW]

I wasn't getting any wiper fluid coming out when holding down the left stalk button so I went and got a gallon of fluid and started to pour into the reservoir. However, the reservoir filled up almost immediately. Got maybe a cups worth down. I am now getting some fluid on the windshield when hitting the button though. Am I missing some step in getting the whole gallon to go down? Thanks

Did you get the windshield washer fluid light on your dashboard? If not, you don’t have low fluid.

Your wiper’s nozzles may simply be clogged. Try unclogging them?

I didn’t get the warning light and didn’t know there was one. Thanks
How do you “unclog” the wipers?

I don’t know, but I’d grab a needle or toothpick or push-pin, find the holes in the wipers, and try cleaning them lol. I haven’t had to do it on my car before, but it’s worth a shot.

If not, you may need either your wipers or your washer pump replaced.

The only caution in the manual related to this is:
CAUTION: Do not operate the washers when the fluid reservoir is empty or frozen. This can cause the washer pump to overheat and fail.

The windshield washer fluid low icon looks like this:

@BAW how’s this go? I just noticed the manual has instructions now: https://publications.infotainment.p...tml#GUID-A4255DCF-F122-494F-A07E-2A02108EFCC6
