Help! what does it mean - has no manual




Having bought an '87 tq Avant without :( an ownwrs manual, i am now in need for some advice.

As i could see that the sprinkler - fluid container (what is the correct name for this btw. ? ) has some sort of sensor at the bottom, i was curiously awaiting the moment where the container was almost empty. Thys happened yesterday, and as expected, there was a warning:


 .     .
  .   .
   . .
   . .
 /  :  \
/   :   \
|   :   |
|~~~~~~~|
|_______|

AHA !, I thought. Now i know that it works, and I filled up the container.

But THE WARNING DIDN'T DISSAPEAR !, - well now i was puzzled, but not worried.

As i parked the car somewhere with the front slightly lower than rear the warning dissapeared. OK., i thought, the sensor had to have a little time to detect the fluid.

Starting after 10 min and i was happily driving home via a route i often drive, 
the warning reappeared !
As it happened driving up a 10% slope, i now was really worried, but checking oil, water, hydraulic- and brake-fluid everything was fine.

Now i'd like if anybody kindly could inform me what the damn warning means.

TIA
