Maintenance and care
■Using the gauge (if equipped)
The washer fluid level can be checked by
observing the position of the level on the
liquid-covered holes in the gauge.
If the level falls below the second hole
from the bottom (the “LOW” position), refill
the washer fluid.
WARNING
■When adding washer fluid
Do not add washer fluid when the hybrid system is hot or operat ing as
washer fluid contains alcohol and may catch fire if spilled on the engine etc.
NOTICE
■ Do not use any fluid other than washer fluid
Do not use soapy water or engine antifreeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on the vehicle’s painted surfaces, as well as
damaging the pump leading to problems of the washer fluid not spraying.
■ Diluting washer fluid
Dilute washer fluid with water as necessary.
Refer to the freezing temperatures listed on the label of the washer fluid bot-
tle.

Maintenance and care
Pull the wiper insert out past
the stopper on the wiper blade,
and then continue to pull until it
is completely removed.
Lightly grasp between the claws of
the wiper blade to allow the wiper
insert to lift up, making it easier to
remove.
Remove the 2 metal plates from
the old wiper insert and install
them to the replacement wiper
insert.
Insert the wiper insert starting from the claw at the center of the
wiper blade. Pass the wiper insert through the 3 claws so that it
sticks out from the stopper, and then pass the wiper insert thr ough
the final remaining claw.
Applying a small amount of washer fluid to the wiper insert can make it
easier to insert the claws into the grooves.
