Driving
HILUX_OM_OM0K375E_(EE)
Washer/wiper dual operation
The wipers will automatically 
operate a couple of times after
the washer squirts. 
If the headlights are on, the 
headlight cleaners will operate
once. 
And then, the headlight cleaners 
will operate every five times you
pull the lever. (if equipped)
■ The windshield wipers and washer can be operated when 
The engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start 
system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system). 
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays 
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the 
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
7
WARNING
■ Caution regarding the use of washer fluid 
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes 
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This 
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■ When the windshield is dry 
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield. 
■ When the washer fluid tank is empty 
Do not operate the switch continually as the washer fluid pump may over- 
heat. 
■ When a nozzle becomes blocked 
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

Winter driving tips
●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera- 
tures. 
• Engine oil 
• Engine coolant 
• Washer fluid 
● Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery. 
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire 
chains for the rear tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match 
the size of the tires.
Perform the following according to the driving conditions: 
● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen. 
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away 
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing. 
● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, 
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield. 
● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu- 
mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the 
tires or on the brakes. 
● Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before 
getting in the vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man- 
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.
