WARNING
Q 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
Q When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
Q When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually as the washer fluid pump may over-
heat.
Q 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.
