Description
The Hyundai i20 PB series, produced between 2010 and 2015, was a compact hatchback and sedan range that became popular for its practicality, affordability, and efficiency. Offered in trims such as Active and Elite, the i20 was equipped with the 1.4 litre inline-four, 16-valve petrol engine, delivering reliable performance for everyday driving.

🚿 Purpose of the Washer Bottle
The washer bottle is a reservoir that stores windshield washer fluid. This fluid is pumped through hoses to the windshield nozzles, allowing drivers to clean dirt, dust, and debris from the glass.
Key functions include:
- Visibility Maintenance: Ensures the driver has a clear view by removing grime, bugs, and road film.
- Safety Enhancement: Improves driving safety in adverse weather conditions such as rain, dust storms, or snow.
