DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE -- ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Adding washer fluid
Replacing light bulbs—
If any washer does not work, the washer
fluid tank may be empty. Add washer fluid.
Before replacing the headlight bulbs and
front turn signal light bulbs, remove the
engine compartment cover. See “Remov-
ing the engine compartment cover” on
page 251 in Section 7- 1.
For the location of the washer fluid tank see
“Engine compartment overview” on page 250
in Section 7--1.
The following illustrations show how to gain
access to the bulbs. When replacing a bulb,
make sure the ignition switch and light switch
are off. Use bulbs with the wattage ratings
given in the table.
You may use plain water as washer fluid.
However, in cold areas where temperatures
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.
The high mounted stoplight consists of a
number of light emitting diodes (LEDs). If any
of the LEDs burn out, take your vehicle to
your Toyota dealer to have the light replaced.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or any
other substitute because it may damage
your vehicle’s paint.
CAUTION
D To prevent burning yourself, do not
replace the light bulbs while they are
hot.
D Halogen bulbs have pressurised gas
inside and require special handling.
They can burst or shatter if scratched
or dropped. Hold a bulb only by its
plastic or metal case. Do not touch the
glass part of a bulb with bare hands.
Vehicles with discharge headlights—
D Do not touch the high-intensity dis-
charge headlight’s high voltage
socket when the headlights are turned
on. An extremely high voltage of
20000 V will be discharged and could
result in serious injury or death by
electric shock.
D Do not attempt to take apart or repair
the low beam headlight bulbs, con-
nectors, power supply circuits, or re-
lated components. Doing so could re-
sult in electric shock and serious in-
jury or death. Call your Toyota dealer
for headlight repair or servicing, in-
cluding replacement of bulbs and
bulb disposal.
