2584-3. Operating the lights and wipers
HIGHLANDER_HV_U
■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The power switch is in ON mode.
■ Dripping prevention wiper sweep (vehicles with rain-sensing win dshield
wipers)
After performing a washing and wiping operation several times, the wipers
operate one more time after a short delay to prevent dripping.
However, this final wiper operation will not be performed while driving.
■ Effects of vehicle speed on wip er operation (vehicles with rain-sensing
windshield wipers)
Even when the wipers are not in “AUTO” mode, wiper operation va ries
depending on vehicle speed when the washer is being used (delay until drip
prevention wiper sweep occurs).
■ Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
●If the wiper switch is turned to the “AUTO” position while the power switch is
in ON mode, the wiper will operate once to show that “AUTO” mod e is acti-
vated.
● When the sensor sensitivity ring is turned toward high while in “AUTO”
mode, the wipers will operate once to indicate that the sensor sensitivity is
enhanced.
● If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 194°F (90°C) or hi gher, or 5°F
(-15°C) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this ca se, operate
the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washe r fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir. ● 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 windshield.

WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of wind shield wipers in “AUTO” mode (vehi-
cles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or

fingers etc. do not become caught in the windshield wipers.
■ Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshie ld becomes
