Electrical components -> Adding washer fluid for Your Toyota Rav4 SUV Third Generation (2006-2012)

’07 Rav4_U (L/O 0701)  
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 wind-  
shield 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 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.  
You should normalize the power window  
and moon roof may not operate correctly  
after replacing blown fuses. To normalize  
the power window and moon roof, see  
“Power windows” on page 25 and “Electric  
moon roof” on page 31 in Section 12.  
The stop/tail lights and high mounted stop-  
light consist of a number of LEDs. If any  
of the LEDs burn out, take your vehicle  
to your Toyota dealer to have the light  
replaced.  
If two or more LEDs in a stop/tail light  
burn out, your vehicle may not conform to  
local laws (SAE).  
CAUTION  
NOTICE  
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.  
Do not use engine antifreeze or any  
other substitute because it may dam-  
age your vehicle’s paint.  
CAUTION  
D To prevent burning yourself, 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.
