Washer fluid

If any washer does not work or the

warning message appears on the

multi-information

display,

the

washer tank may be empty. Add

washer fluid.

NOTICE

■

If the fluid level is low or high

It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear or

when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.

If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious problem.

CAUTION

■

When refilling the washer fluid

Do not refill the washer fluid when the hybrid system is hot or operating, as the

washer fluid contains alcohol and may catch fire if spilled on the engine etc.

NOTICE

■

Do not use any fluid other than washer fluid

Do not use soapy water or engine antifreeze instead of washer fluid.

Doing so may cause streaking on the vehicle’s painted surfaces.

■

Diluting washer fluid

Dilute washer fluid with water as necessary.

Refer to the freezing temperatures listed on the label of the washer fluid bottle.
