Toyota Yaris: Windshield Wipers and Washer / Windshield Wipers
With intermittent wiper
Turn the wipers on by pressing the lever up or
down.
Variable-speed intermittent wipers
Set the lever to the intermittent
position and choose the interval
timing by rotating the ring.
With auto-wiper control
Turn the wipers on by pressing the lever up or
down.
Auto-wiper control (if equipped)
When the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position, the rain sensor
senses the amount of rainfall on
the windshield and turns the wipers on or off automatically
(off―intermittent―low speed―high speed).
The sensitivity of the rain sensor
can be adjusted by turning the
switch on the wiper lever.
From the center position (normal), rotate the switch upward for higher
sensitivity (faster response) or rotate it downward for less sensitivity
(slower response).
- Switching the auto-wiper lever from the OFF to the AUTO position while
driving activates the windshield wipers once, after which they operate
according to the rainfall amount.
- The auto-wiper control may not operate when the rain sensor temperature
is
about -10 °C (14 °F) or lower, or about 85 °C (185 °F) or higher.
- If the windshield is coated with water repellent, the rain sensor may
not be
able to sense the amount of rainfall correctly and the auto-wiper control
may
not operate properly.
- If dirt or foreign matter (such as ice or matter containing salt water)
adheres
to the windshield above the rain sensor, or if the windshield is iced, it
could
cause the wipers to move automatically. However, if the wipers cannot
remove this ice, dirt or foreign matter, the auto-wiper control will stop
operation. In this case, set the wiper lever to the low speed position or
high speed
position for manual operation, or remove the ice, dirt or foreign matter by
hand to restore the auto-wiper operation.
- If the auto-wiper lever is left in the AUTO position, the wipers could
operate
automatically from the effect of strong light sources, electromagnetic waves,
or infrared light because the rain sensor uses an optical sensor. It is
recommended that the auto-wiper lever be switched to the OFF position other
than
when driving the vehicle under rainy conditions.
- The auto-wiper control functions can be turned off. Refer to
Customizable
Features.
NOTICE
- Do not shade the rain sensor by adhering a sticker or a label on
the windshield. Otherwise the rain sensor will
not operate correctly.
- When the wiper lever is in the AUTO position and the ignition is
switched
ON, the wipers may move automatically in the following cases:
- If the windshield above the rain sensor is touched or wiped with a
cloth.
- If the windshield is struck with a hand or other object from
either outside
or inside the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the windshield when the wiper lever is
in the AUTO position and the ignition is switched ON as fingers could be
pinched or the wipers and wiper blades damaged when the wipers activate
automatically. If you are going to clean the windshield, be sure the
wipers are turned off completely (when it is most likely that the engine is
left running) this is particularly important when clearing ice and snow.
The ignition must be switched ON to use the wipers.
Because heavy ice and snow can jam the wiper blades, the wiper motor is
protected from motor breakdown, overheating and possible fire by a circuit
breaker...
