DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE Electrical components -> Adding washer fluid for Your Toyota Prius 4 Door Second Generation (2004-2009)

Adding washer fluid  
Replacing light bulbs—  
If any washer does not work, the wash-  
er 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 hybrid system and  
light switch are off. Use bulbs with the  
wattage ratings given in the table.  
Vehicles with discharge headlights—  
Do not touch the high−intensity dis-  
charge headlight’s high voltage  
socket when the headlights are  
turned on. An extremely high volt-  
age of 20,000V will be discharged  
and could result in serious injury  
or death by electric shock.  
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.  
The stop lights and high mounted stoplight  
consist of a number of LEDs. If any of  
LEDs burn out, take your vehicle to your  
Toyota dealer to have the light replaced.  
Do not attempt to take apart or re-  
pair the headlight bulbs, connec-  
tors, power supply circuits, or re-  
lated components. Doing so could  
result in electric shock and serious  
injury or death. Call your Toyota  
dealer for headlight repair or servic-  
ing, including replacement of bulbs  
and bulb disposal.  
If two or more LEDs in a stop light burn  
out, your vehicle may not conform to local  
laws (SAE).  
NOTICE  
CAUTION  
Do not use engine antifreeze or any  
other substitute because it may dam-  
age your vehicle’s paint.  
To prevent burning yourself, do not  
replace the light bulbs while they  
are hot.  
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  
Only use a bulb of the listed type.
