Electrical components -> Adding washer fluid for Your Toyota Avalon 4 Door Second Generation (2000-2004)

’03 AVALON U (L/O 0206)  
Adding washer fluid  
Replacing light bulbs—  
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.  
If any washer does not work or low  
windshield washer fluid level warning  
light comes on, the washer tank may be  
empty. Add washer fluid.  
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 tempera-  
tures range below 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.  
CAUTION  
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.  
D To prevent yourself from burning,  
do not replace the light bulbs while  
they are hot.  
D Halogen bulbs have pressurized 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.  
NOTICE  
Do not use engine antifreeze or any  
other substitute because it may dam-  
age your vehicle’s paint.  
NOTICE  
Only use a bulb of the listed type.
