If the new fuse immediately blows out,
there is a problem with the electrical sys-
tem. Have your Toyota dealer correct it as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
Never use a fuse with a higher am-
perage rating, or any other object, in
place of a fuse. This may cause ex-
tensive damage and possibly a fire.
For vehicles sold in the U.S.A.—If any
washer does not work, the washer tank
may be empty. Check the washer fluid
level on the level gauge. If the washer
fluid level is at “LOW”, add washer
fluid.
For vehicles sold in Canada—If any
washer does not work or the low wind-
shield washer fluid level warning light
comes on, the washer tank may be
empty. Add washer fluid.You may use plain water as washer fluid.
However, in cold areas where tempera-
tures range below the freezing point, use
washer fluid containing antifreeze. This
product is available at your Toyota dealer
and most auto parts stores. Follow the
manufacturer ’s directions for how much to
mix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or any
other substitute because it may dam-
age your vehicle’s paint.
