■ When there is insufficient 12-volt bat-
tery fluid
Do not use if there is insufficient fluid in
the 12-volt battery. There is a possible
danger that the 12-volt battery may
explode.
NOTICE
■ When recharging the 12-volt battery
Never recharge the 12-volt battery while
the EV system is operating. Also, be sure
all accessories are turned off.
■ When adding distilled water
Avoid overfilling. Water spilled during
12-volt battery recharging may cause
corrosion.
Adding washer fluid
WARNING
Do not add washer fluid when the EV
system is hot or operating.
As washer fluid contains alcohol, it may
catch fire if spilled on the motor, etc.
NOTICE
■ Do not use any fluid other than
washer fluid
Do not use soapy water or engine anti-
freeze instead of washer fluid. Doing so
may cause streaking on the vehicle’s
painted surfaces, as well as damaging the
pump leading to problems of the washer
fluid not spraying.
■ Diluting washer fluid
Dilute washer fluid with water as neces-
sary. Refer to the freezing temperatures
listed on the label of the washer fluid bot-
tle.
