slightly unless the instrument panel light
control dial is turned fully on.

If any washer does not work, the wash-
er tank may be empty. Add washer
fluid.
You may use plain water as washer fluid.
However, in cold areas where tempera-
tures range below the freezing point, use
washer fluid containing antifreeze. This
product is available at your Toyota dealer
and most auto parts stores. Follow the
manufacturer ’s directions for how much to
mix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or any
other substitute because it may dam-
age your vehicle’s paint.
The following illustrations show how to
gain access to the bulbs. When replacing
a bulb, make sure the hybrid system and
light switch are off. Use bulbs with the
wattage ratings given in the table.
The stop lights and high mounted stoplight
consist of a number of LEDs. If any of
the LEDs burn out, take your vehicle to
your Toyota dealer to have the light re-
placed.
If two or more LEDs in a stop light burn
out, your vehicle may not conform to local
laws (SAE).
CAUTION
To prevent burning yourself, do not
replace the light bulbs while they
are hot.
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas
inside and require special handling.
They can burst or shatter if
scratched or dropped. Hold a bulb
only by its plastic or metal case.
Do not touch the glass part of a
bulb with bare hands.
Vehicles with discharge headlights—
Do not touch the highintensity dis-
charge headlight’s high voltage
socket when the headlights are
turned on. An extremely high volt-
age of 20,000V will be discharged
and could result in serious injury
or death by electric shock.
Do not attempt to take apart or re-
pair the headlight bulbs, connec-
tors, power supply circuits, or re-
lated components. Doing so could
result in electric shock and serious
injury or death. Call your Toyota
dealer for headlight repair or servic-
ing, including replacement of bulbs
and bulb disposal.
NOTICE
Only use a bulb of the listed type.

The inside of the lens of exterior lights
such as headlights may temporarily fog up
when the lense becomes wet in the rain
or in a car wash. This is not a problem
because the fogging is caused by the
temperature difference between the outside
and inside of the lense, just like the
windshield fogs up in the rain. However, if
there is a large drop of water on the
inside of the lense, or if there is water
pooled inside the light, contact your
Toyota dealer.Light bulbsBulbNo.WTy p e
