Windscreen Wiper fluid/wash

[ae2meln]

Does anyone know where the wash comes out to clean the windscreen?
The reason I ask is this has stopped working on my Mitsubishi i-Miev but the rear one works (so it's not a lack of liquid) and I'm thinking/hoping something is blocked somewhere.
There's a humming noise when I try to wash the windscreen so hopefully this means the motor is still working, although maybe not!

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

If you're in sub-freezing weather, sometimes the nozzles get blocked by ice. The nozzles are on the arm of the big (left side) wiper if you have a North American i-MiEV.

There are four nozzles located in the driver's side (or passenger side in the UK) windshield (windscreen) wiper arm.

Yes, and it is not welcome on cold mornings.

UK cars only have one windscreen wiper (and I suspect other "narrow" iMiev/CZero/iONs only have one too)

Yes. I had forgotten.

Earlier this year I had posted about the single wiper.

the single wiper always reminds me of my old Citroen BX (though mine was pale metallic blue, not beige):

That had a perforated pipe that ran along the length of the wiper, and it was usually the first thing to freeze solid when the temperature dropped.

The trick is to use a higher concentration of screenwash vs water in colder weather.....
