When Driving
Windshield Wipers and Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to use the wipers.
Because  heavy  ice  and  snow  can  jam  the  wiper  blades,  the  wiper  motor  is
protected  from  motor  breakdown,  overheating  and  possible  fire  b y  a  circuit
breaker. This  mechanism  will  automatically  stop  operation  of  th e  blades,  but
only for about 5 minutes.
If  this  happens,  turn  off  the  wiper  switch  and  park  off  the  rig ht-of-way,  and
remove the snow and ice.
After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and the blades should opera te normally. If
they do not resume functioning, consult your Toyota dealer as s oon as possi-
ble.  Drive  to  the  side  of  the  road  and  park  off  the  right-of-wa y.  Wait  until  the
weather clears before trying to drive with the wipers inoperative.
WARNING
■ Use only windshield washer fluid  or plain water in the reservoir
Using  radiator  antifreeze  as  washer  fluid  is  dangerous.  If  sprayed  on  the
windshield,  it  will  dirty  the  windshield,  affect  your  visibilit y,  and  could  result
in an accident.
■ Only  use  windshield  washer  fluid  mixed  with  anti-freeze  protect ion  in
freezing weather conditions
Using  windshield  washer  fluid  without  anti-freeze  protection  in  freezing
weather  conditions  is  dangerous  as  it  could  freeze  on  the  windshield  and
block your vision which could cause an accident. In addition, m ake sure the
windshield  is  sufficiently  warmed  using  the  defroster  before  spraying  the
washer fluid.
