screen washer lever is pulled.
Precautions to observe when using wip-
ers and washers E00507600014
l If the moving wipers become blocked by ice
or other deposits on the glass, the motor may
burn out even if the wiper switch is turned to
OFF. If obstruction occurs, park your vehicle
in a safe place, turn off the ignition, and
clean the deposits from the glass so that the
wipers operate smoothly.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and the
blades wear out prematurely.
l Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not frozen on-
to the glass. The motor may burn out if the
wipers are used with the blades frozen onto
the glass.
l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer fluid
in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a recommended
washer solution that will not freeze in the
washer reservoir. Failure to do so could re-
sult in loss of washer function and frost dam-
age to the system components.Rear window demister switch E00507900961
The rear window demister switch can be operated
with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.
Push the switch to turn on the rear window demis-
ter. It will be turned off automatically in about 20
minutes. To turn off the demister within about 20
minutes, push the switch again.
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the

Washer fluidE01000700672
The windscreen washer fluid reservoir is in the en-
gine compartment.
Check the washer fluid level at regular intervals
and add washer fluid to reservoir if necessary.
NOTE
l The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen and headlamps (if so equipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at low
temperatures, use a fluid containing an anti-freez-
ing agent.
Brake fluid E01000900935
To check the fluid level
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX”
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The brake fluid level is monitored by a float. When
the brake fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark,
the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake
pads, but this does not indicate any abnormality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short
length of time, it indicates leaks from the brake sys-
tem.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehi-
cle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT4.
The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture
in the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake sys-
tem, reducing the brake performance.
In addition, the brake fluid reservoir is equipped
with a special cap to prevent the entrance of air,
and this cap should not be removed.CAUTIONl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your
skin and also damage painted surfaces.
l Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of
brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid
touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
l Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex-
cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.
