Cool Windshield Washer
Well, I have been driving that amazing car since midst May . I must admit I have used windshield washer a lot . Today while waiting at the lights , I saw this pop up message . Not an audible warning but you could see it
On the way home I gave it a whisk and it still flushed the windshield in other words not a sign of depleting dregs of fluid at all
It's the longest period of time almost 7 months w/ having to top up the fluid
I have not taken a gander at the manual to learn how big the reservoir is but it must be big enough given that it has juice in it lol

It will take a gallon when reasonably close to empty, say with the warning message.

BTW, are you in UK? "Top Up" is not something we say here in the US.

The Windshield washer reservoir size is about 1gallon/4 liters. I have filled my four times, each time it takes all 1 gallon of washer fluid.

It is absolutely amazing how a car maker like MB lets a text like this to pass thru their inspections. Are they teaching English speaking world how to speak English now?

Well, yes if you want to use the term but when the alarm/message comes ON doesn't it measn it is close to emply, i.e. fill up would be a more suitable message.
