cle.

Driving
C-HR_OM_Europe_OM10528E
■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system 
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system 
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode. 
■ Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sensing 
windshield wipers) 
Even when the wipers are not in “AUTO” mode, wiper operation varies 
depending on vehicle speed when the washer is being used (delay until drip
prevention wiper sweep occurs). 
■ Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers) 
● If the wiper switch is turned to the “AUTO” position while the engine switch is 
in IGNITION ON mode, the wiper will operate once to show that “AUTO” 
mode is activated. 
● If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 90C (194F) or higher, or -15C 
(5 F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate the 
wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”. 
■ 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. 
● The raindrop sensor judges the amount 
of raindrops. 
An optical sensor is adopted. It may not 
operate properly when sunlight from the 
rising or setting of the sun intermittently
strikes the windshield, or if bugs, etc., 
are present on the windshield.

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. 
■ Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode (vehi- 
cles with rain-sensing windshield wipers) 
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or 
the windshield is subject to vibration in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your 
fingers, etc., do not become caught in the windshield wipers.
NOTICE
■ When the windshield is dry 
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield. 
■ When there is no washer fluid spray from the nozzle 
Damage to the washer fluid pump may be caused if the lever is pulled 
toward you and held continually. 
■ 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/intercooler 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 front tires*.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match 
the size of the tires.
*: Tire chains cannot be mounted on 18 inch tires.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before 
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man-

6107-2. Maintenance
C-HR_OM_Europe_OM10528E
■Where to go for maintenance service? 
In order to maintain your vehicle in the best possible condition, Toyota recom- 
mends that maintenance service operations as well as other inspections and 
repairs be carried out by authorized Toyota retailers or repairers or other duly
qualified and equipped professionals. For repairs and services covered by 
your warranty, please visit an authorized Toyota retailers or repairer, who will 
use genuine Toyota parts in repairing any difficulties you may encounter.
There can also be advantages in utilizing authorized Toyota retailers or 
repairers for non-warranty repairs and services, as members of the Toyota 
network will be able to expertly assist you with any difficulties you may
encounter. 
Your Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer will 
perform all of the scheduled maintenance on your vehicle reliably and eco-
nomically due to their experience with Toyota vehicles. 
■ Does your vehicle need repair? 
Be on the alert for changes in performance and sounds, and visual tip-offs 
that indicate service is needed. Some important clues are: 
● Engine misses, stumbling, or pinging 
● Appreciable loss of power 
● Strange engine noises 
● A fluid leak under the vehicle (However, water dripping from the air condi- 
tioning after use is normal.) 
● Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide 
leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked 
immediately.)
