Push your wiper stalk forward (toward the dash) Push it all the way forward for rear wiper fluid

Thanks Don. There is no wash mechanism/nozzle. Its covered, maybe that was an option in Euro models ?. Or could that covering mysteriously pop up a nozzle (like a Porsche ?)?. I would be impressed if it did. I expect to see a fixed nozzle but there was certainly none.

...you can see the little circle on the right side of the tailgate (just below the glass). It pops up when you push the wiper stalk all the way towards the dash like Don stated).

When you lift the tail gate...you can also see the reservoir fill cap on the right...next to the tailgate's gasket (its visible in pic below)...and if you open the right rear panel inside the cargo area...you can see the reservoir and pump. (see pic below)

Hi Q. Thanks. Great pics and detailed explaination. I got it now. I seen the washer bottle on the right panel before, just that the cover of the washer was mysterious. So cool for it to pop out. Like a Porsche. My kids will be impressed.
( A four year old daughter wanted a yellow Porsche already!!!... ) They loved the touring but commented on its spartan interior compared to my E34 sedan that had leather and nice audio system.

Use your VIN number and the ETK and you will find the details. I even do not know which country specifications, year of production (sometimes the month is important even) and so on.
