When Driving
Windshield Wipers and Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to use the wipers.
Because heavy ice and snow can jam the wiper blades, the wiper motor is
protected from motor breakdown, overheating and possible fire by a circuit
breaker. This mechanism will automatically stop operation of the blades, but
only for about 5 minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper switch and park off the right-of-way, and
remove the snow and ice.
After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and the blades should operate normally. If
they do not resume functioning, consult your Toyota dealer as soon as possi-
ble. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way. Wait until the
weather clears before trying to drive with the wipers inoperative.
WARNING
■ Use only windshield washer fluid or plain water in the reservoir
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield, affect your visibility, and could result
in an accident.
■ Only use windshield washer fluid mixed with anti-freeze protection in
freezing weather conditions
Using windshield washer fluid without anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions is dangerous as it could freeze on the windshield and
block your vision which could cause an accident. In addition, make sure the
windshield is sufficiently warmed using the defroster before spraying the
washer fluid.
