My 04 Sport doesn't have one.. I have run out washer juice a few times and it's not good when there is this much salt on the roads like they use around here in the winter. I would expect to see this feature on a Limited though... Anyone with a Limited have a low washer warning lamp?

Our 2007 Sport has a low washer fluid light. I can't believe they would put one in for Canada but not the US.
I have a limited and there is no washer light. Pisses me off too.

I would laugh at Toyota or any vehicle that has a (useless) washer fluid warning light. What's next? Is someone gonna ask for brake fluid, power steering, and radiator reservoir warning light? LOL I pop up my hood everytime i gas up (once a week) and when i wash/detail my 4R. That's when necessary i fill up all liquids. But that's just me.

My Range Rover had a low washer fluid warning. That was quite nice, especially this time of year with all the salt and sand on the roads.

well, my mustang's E-brake light comes on when it is low on Brake Fluid, not sure of the 4runner.
and generally, your temperature gauge would tell you that you are out of coolant

Canadian spec'ed 4Runners have the washer fluid low warning light. US spec'ed 4Runners do not.
I don't think it's a big deal. There's a dipstick in the washer fluid bottle, which IMO is pointless too. Just add fluid until it rises above the sheet metal hole up through the neck.

Well, you'd be laughing at almost every late model vehicle on the road these days, because the majority of them have it. Even the cheaper ones...

My 08 TR4 donsen't have one. It'd be nice on one part BUT its also another thing to BREAK! My old school brain just keeps a bottle handy in the back along with oil, cables, tow strap blah blah blah.... You guys on here know! Keep supplies in the back. Idiot lites are great, Emerg Road Srv is great but learning from our elders mistakes an keeping extras in the trunk priceless!
oh yeah for you politic correct jerks its a driver informational display

It is a nice feature. My last vehicle also had a coiled metal tube inside the windshield washer reservoir that coolant flowed through so the windshield washer fluid was warm and didnt freeze on the windshield in cold conditions.

My pendant fell and it slipped thru. Thanks for the dipstick that had a stopper in there.
