1. Locate the windshield washer reservoir cap. It's blue, and near the battery on the right side.

2. There is a maximum fill line on the reservoir. Just top it up every once in a while, depending on how often you use it. Make sure you wear some gloves if you want to avoid spilling fluid on yourself. Keep some towels handy in case a spill happens. Using the funnel makes it a lot easier to avoid spilling and having to clean your engine bay.

For any beginners out there, it's not going to affect the operation of the car if it's not completely full, but it sure helps if you get something on your windshield. When you're done, make sure you push the cap back on tightly. That one was easy!
