Operation
Position 1Intermittent operation
Position 2Low speed operation
Position 3High speed operation
Position 4Single sweep operation
Position 5Washer on
Rotating the band on the lever lets you
adjust the wiper time interval when the
wiper lever is in the intermittent position
(position 1). Twist the band upward to
increase the time between sweeps, and
downward to decrease it.
When the lever is set to the intermittent
position (position 1), the wipers move ac-
cording to the vehicle speed. The higher
the vehicle speed is, the shorter the inter-
mittent time becomes.
When the lever is in the position 2, the
wipers operate at low speed while the
vehicle is moving and, when it stops, they
switch to intermittent operation. If the le-
ver is shifted “LO” position while the ve-
hicle is stopped, the wiper will begin to
work in intermittent operation after a cou-
ple of wipes at low speed.
This feature can be deactivated. For de-
tails, ask your Toyota dealer.
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 “INT”.

Vehicles with discharge headlights—
Do not touch the high voltage sock-
et when the headlight turns on.
20000 V is momentarily generated
and may cause severe injury by
electric shock.
Do not disassemble, repair or take
apart the headlight bulbs, connec-
tor, power supply circuits and ro-
tated components. Or you may be
injured by electric shocks. Call your
dealer when the headlights fail to
work or have to be replaced or dis-
posed of.
NOTICE
Only use a bulb of the listed type.
The inside of the lens of exterior lights
such as headlights may temporarily fog up
when the lens becomes wet in the rain or
in a car wash. This is not a problem
because the fogging is caused by the
temperature difference between the outside
and inside of the lens, just like the
windshield fogs up in the rain. However, if
there is a large drop of water on the
inside of the lens, or if there is water
pooled inside the light, contact your
Toyota dealer.Light bulbsBulb
