l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate
the washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if re-
quired.
During cold weather, add a recommen-
ded washer solution that will not freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so
could result in loss of washer function
and frost damage to the system compo-
nents.

switch

The rear window demister switch can be op-
erated when the operation mode of the power
switch is in ON.
Push the switch to turn on the rear window
demister. It will be turned off automatically
in about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the
outside temperature. To turn off the demister
while it is operating, push the switch again.
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while
the demister is on.
NOTE
l Do not use this switch when the ready indi-
cation lamp is not illuminated. The auxiliary
battery could go flat, making it impossible to
start the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
l Since the demister requires a significant
amount of power, stop the demister as soon
as the window is demisted. Using it for a
long time may reduce the auxiliary battery
voltage, making it impossible to start the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
l When the rear window demister switch is
pressed, the outside rear-view mirrors are
defogged or defrosted. Refer to “Heated mir-
ror” on page 7-11.
l On vehicles equipped with the wiper de-icer,
when the rear window demister switch is
pushed, the window glass becomes warm
and the wipers become operable. Refer to
“Wiper de-icer switch” on page 6-69.
