Window washer fluid light?
 
Do these cars not have them? Mine started foaming and then there was none left. On my previous cars it alerted you when the fluid was low so you could change it before it was all gone. It potentially cause me problems, for example during love bug season. If I'm driving and all of a sudden don't have any, well I'm screwed. Anyone else experience this? I know I can always just top it off once in awhile, but it's nice to have the icon letting me know.

I'm so obsessed with everything about my car that I fill it up very often. Never had the occasion to check if the car had such a light. Driver's manual will have the answer though :D

I'm pretty certain the answer is no after looking @ the manual

That's what we get for buying cheap sports cars :D

No

Burrcold 10-19-2013 08:08 PM

Nope!

Not having sensors, switches, lights and wiring adds lightness.
A bit of awareness and manual observation is worth it to me.

Or you could have your personal assistant handle the hard stuff.

Make sure your blinker fluid is topped off too.

When I took mine in for my first oil change I was informed that I was low on washer fluid. Personally I only use them ever so rarely, and if I do check it, it's when I'm under the hood anyway.

It really isn't very difficult to top it off occasionally.

At my age I wish there was an icon to tell me when I have to stop
to pee...

Seriously, why not just keep a bottle of washer fluid in the trunk?

With the size of the reservoir in these cars, I'm surprised to hear anyone has ever run out of washer fluid! http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...psd979ebd6.jpg
I actually prefer not having a low level warning as I only keep about a cup of fluid in mine. It's enough to wash the windshield quite a few times while lightening up the front of the car a bit.

Those with Vortech Superchargers also have a smaller reservoir, might explain some people running out of fluid :D

My 550i used to warn me about washer fluid constantly. It started the warning at about half full, which was a good month of fluid left. Annoying.
