Prado headlight cleaning method: There is a button marked with a headlight spray image below the dashboard. Generally, turn on the headlights first, then press this switch, and finally press the cleaning function button. More information about Prado: 1. The Toyota Prado (PRADO) is produced based on the successful production and sales of Sichuan Toyota's original Coaster buses, and is currently Toyota's only Prado production line in China. 2.

The headlight cleaning system on the Prado is quite convenient to operate. I've been driving this car for several years and often use it during off-roading or rainy days. The key steps are: first, make sure the headlights are turned on (switch to the headlight position), then locate the cleaning control lever next to the steering wheel, usually part of the wiper control lever. You just need to gently press and pull it inward (just like spraying windshield washer fluid), and it will simultaneously spray water to clean the headlights. Don't hold it for too long each time you use it—just a few seconds is enough, otherwise, it wastes water and might dirty the car body. It's recommended to clean them after muddy roads or before night driving to ensure the lights are bright enough for safety. If the water spray is uneven, the nozzle might be clogged. Regularly check and maintain it, and use dedicated cleaning fluid instead of tap water. This small feature may seem simple, but it can be a lifesaver for visibility at critical moments, making driving much more comfortable.

Operating the Land Cruiser Prado's headlight cleaning system, I'll explain from a safety perspective. First, start the vehicle and turn on the headlights. Then operate the windshield wiper fluid lever: gently pull it inward and hold for a few seconds to see the nozzles spray water to clean the lens. Why is timely use recommended? Dirty lenses can dim the headlight output, especially during foggy conditions or at night, potentially causing accidents due to reduced visibility. After every off-road trip or exposure to heavy dust, I always clean them once - brighter lights mean more confident driving. Remember not to use it too frequently to avoid depleting the reservoir; also check water pressure to prevent nozzle malfunctions. Additionally, in winter, beware of freezing - if no water sprays, the system might be frozen; using antifreeze washer fluid is highly practical. In short, these simple steps maintain visibility, putting driving safety first.

I summarized the usage of the Prado's headlight washer: After turning on the headlights, press the washer button or pull the wiper lever. The steps are: start the car, turn on the headlight switch, then pull the control lever next to the steering wheel inward for a few seconds to activate automatic washing. Don't worry about complexity—it's just a simple press. Although not used frequently, it effectively removes dirt and maintains brightness. Avoid testing it when the engine is overheated to prevent pipe damage. It's recommended to check the nozzle monthly for cleanliness and gently wipe it with a soft cloth. Safety lies in timely cleaning—a simple treatment before night driving enhances visibility.
