Screen wash capacity

Love my 3008 but I've finally found something annoying about it. 2.5 L capacity for the screenwash? what a joke, winter is going be interesting! might have to keep some in the boot.

Wonder if the 'magic wash' or whatever it's called doesn't use as much screenwash?

I have read that the magic wash system (also used on the Citroen Cactus) is designed to not use a great deal of screenwash.

Previous PSA group cars which I have had, fitted with xenon lights, have all had larger capacity screenwash tanks, to allow you to travel further without refilling.

I guess with the 3008, whether fitted with halogens or LED's, none are legally required to have headlamp washers, so they just have 'one size fits all'.

I've yet to use my screenwash, but I've seen the different arrangement on the wipers themselves, where the pipes and nozzles sit on the wipers themselves.

I've had my car coming up for three months and have used the screen wash quite often with no indication that a refill is required. I am finding the screen wash system very efficient, requiring only one or two squirts so presumably the reservoir doesn't need to be particularly large.

What I really like about the new 3008 is how the Peugeot have taken all the good stuff from their various PSA vehicles and put it together into the car we all have (or are waiting for).

Is there a screen wash low warning alert?

Had to fill up twice now already and unfortunately there's no low warning alert
