4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
Driving
4 Temporary operation
When “AUTO” is selected, the wipers
will operate automatically when the
sensor detects falling rain. The system
automatically adjusts wiper timing in
accordance with rain volume and vehi-
cle speed.
When “AUTO” is selected, the sen-
sor sensitivity can be adjusted as
follows by turning the switch ring.
5 Increases the rain-sensing wind-
shield wiper sensitivity
6 Decreases the rain-sensing
windshield wiper sensitivity
7 Washer/wiper dual oper-
ation
Pulling the lever operates the wipers
and washer.
Wipers will automatically operate a cou-
ple of times after the washer squirts.
■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in ON.
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation
Vehicle speed affects the Intermittent
wiper interval.
■Raindrop sensor
●The raindrop sensor judges the
amount of raindrops. An optical sensor is adopted. It may not operate properly when sunlight
from the rising or setting of the sun intermittently strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are present on the wind-
shield.
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO mode
while the engine switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-sor is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -15°C
(5°F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate
the wipers in any mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir.

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in AUTO mode
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the windshield is subject to vibra-
tion in AUTO mode. Take care that your fingers or anything else do not become caught in the windshield wip-
ers.
■Caution regarding the use of
washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This may lead to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When there is no washer fluid
spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump may be caused if the lever is pulled
toward you and held continually.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer. Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.
