3-4. Switches and Controls
Windshield Wipers and Washer
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. This mechanism will automatically stop operation of the blades, but
only for about 5 minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper switch and park off the right-of-way, and
remove the snow and ice.
After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and the blades should operate normally. If
they do not resume functioning, consult your Toyota dealer as soon as possi-
ble. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way. Wait until the
weather clears before trying to drive with the wipers inoperative.
WARNING
■Use only windshield washer fluid or plain water in the reservoir
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield, affect your visibility, and could result
in an accident.
■ Only use windshield washer fluid mixed with anti-freeze protection in
freezing weather conditions
Using windshield washer fluid without anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions is dangerous as it could freeze on the windshield and
block your vision which could cause an accident. In addition, make sure the
windshield is sufficiently warmed using the defroster before spraying the
washer fluid.

Maintenance and Care
Wiper Blades
Contamination of either the windshield or the blades with for-
eign matter can reduce wiper effectiveness. Common sources
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes.
If the blades are not wiping properly, clean the window and
blades with a good cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse thor-
oughly with clean water. Repeat if necessary.

Maintenance and Care
●When raising both windshield wiper arms, raise the driver’s side wiper arm
first. When lowering the wi per arms, slowly lower the wiper arm from the
passenger’s side first while supporting it with your hand. Forcefully lowering
the wiper arms could damage the wiper arm and blade, and may scratch or
crack the windshield.
● Install the blade so that the tabs are toward the bottom of the wiper arm.
NOTICE
●Hot waxes applied by automatic car washers have been known to affect
the wiper’s ability to clean windows.
● To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do not use gasoline, kerosene,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.
● To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other components, do not try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.
● To prevent damage to the windshield let the wiper arm down easily, don’t
let it slap down on the windshield.
● Do not bend or discard the stiffeners. You need to use them again.
● If the metal stiffeners are switched, the blade’s wiping efficiency could be
reduced.
So don’t use the driver’s side metal stiffeners on the passenger’s side, or
vice versa.
● Be sure to reinstall the metal stiffeners in the new blade rubber so that the
curve is the same as it was in the old blade rubber.
