The wiper speed is determined by the amount

of raindrops detected by the automatic wiper

control sensor.

To spray washer fluid, pull the lever to-

ward you (position 5).

After the washer operates, the wipers oper-

ate three times in low operation, pause for

several seconds, and then operate once

more. This occurs only if the wiper switch is

in the OFF or AUTO position.

The automatic wiper control sensor is on the

inside of the windshield as shown above.

If you feel that the operation of the automatic

wiper control is too fast or too slow, twist the

automatic control adjuster in the “--” direction

to lower sensitivity, and “+” direction to boost

the sensitivity.

The interval between the 3 wipes and the final

wipe depends on the vehicle speed. The final

sweep does not occur if the vehicle speed

exceeds 170 km/h.

If the windshield temperature is as follows,

the wipers do not operate.

The final wipe (after

pause of several

seconds) prevents the washer fluid from

dripping. The final wipe can be set to occur

D Extremely cold (at less than --15_C [5_F])

D Extremely hot (at more than 90_C

[194_F])

after

three second pause, or can be

deactivated. For details, ask your Toyota

dealer.

If the system malfunctions, the system will

switch to intermittent operations.

For instructions on adding washer fluid, see

“Adding washer fluid” on page 274 in Section

7--3.

As soon as the vehicle starts to move, the

wiper will operate once to clear the driver’s

front view if it is set to AUTO when it rains.

In freezing weather, warm the windshield with

the defroster before using the washer. This

will help prevent the washer fluid from freez-

ing on your windshield, which can block your

vision.

CAUTION

Be careful not to get your fingers caught

between the wipers and windshield.

NOTICE

When the wiper lever is in the position

1 with the ignition switch set to ON, the

wipers could operate automatically in

the following cases:

Do not operate the wipers if the wind-

shield is dry. It may scratch the glass.

D If you touch the upper centre of the

windshield adjacent to the sensor.

When waxing your vehicle, make sure that

the washer nozzles do not become blocked.

Toyota dealer to have the vehicle serviced.

D If you wipe the upper centre of the wind-

shield (adjacent to which the sensor is

located) with a towel or other object.

D If the windshield vibrates.
