When Driving
NOTICE
●The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control.
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 could be damaged when th e wip-
ers activate automatically. If you are going to clean the windshield, be sure
the wipers are turned off completely when it is particularly te mpting to
leave the engine running. This is particularly important when clearing ice
and snow.
● Do not shade the light sensor by adher-
ing a sticker or a label on the wind-
shield. Otherwise the light sensor will
not operate correctly.

When Driving
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 b y a circuit
breaker. This mechanism will automatically stop operation of th e blades, but
only for about 5 minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper switch and park off the rig ht-of-way, and
remove the snow and ice.
After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and the blades should opera te normally. If
they do not resume functioning, consult your Toyota dealer as s oon as possi-
ble. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-wa y. 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 visibilit y, and could result
in an accident.
■ Only use windshield washer fluid mixed with anti-freeze protect ion 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, m ake sure the
windshield is sufficiently warmed using the defroster before spraying the
washer fluid.

3-4. Switches and Controls
●Switching the auto-wiper lever from the OFF to the AUTO positio n 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 tem perature 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 sens or may not be
able to sense the amount of rainfall correctly and the auto-wip er control may
not operate properly.
● If dirt or foreign matter (such as ice or matter containing sal t water) adheres
to the windshield above the rain sensor, or if the windshield i s 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 opera-
tion. In this case, set the wiper lever to the low speed positi on or high speed
position for manual operation, or remove the ice, dirt or forei gn 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, electrom agnetic waves,
or infrared light because the rain sensor uses an optical senso r. It is recom-
mended that the auto-wiper lever be switched to the OFF positio n other than
when driving the vehicle under rainy conditions.
● The auto-wiper control functions can be turned off. Refer to Cu stomizable
Features on P. 555
NOTICE
● 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 e ither 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 acti-
vate automatically. If you are going to clean the windshield, be sure the
wipers are turned off completely (when it is most likely that t he engine is
left running) this is particularly important when clearing ice and snow.
●Do not shade the rain sensor by adher-
ing a sticker or a label on the wind-
shield. Otherwise the rain sensor will
not operate correctly.

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.
WARNING
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO position and the ignition i s switched
ON, the wipers may move automatically in the following cases
● If the windshield above the rain sensor is touched.
● If the windshield above the rain sensor is wiped with a cloth.
● If the windshield is struck with a hand or other object.
● If the rain sensor is struck with a hand or other object from i nside the vehi-
cle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or fingers as it may cause injury , or damage
the wipers. When washing or servicing the vehicle, make sure the wiper
lever is in the OFF position.
NOTICE
● Hot waxes applied by automatic car washers have been known to a ffect
the wiper’s ability to clean windows.
● To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do not use gasoline, ker osene,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.

YARIS_YARIS HATCHBACK_OM_OM99V59z_(U)
■Washing
●Toyota is not responsible for scratches caused by automatic car washes or
improper washing.
● Scratches are more noticeable on vehicles with darker paint fin ishes.
■ Waxing
A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and similar materials will usually also take
off the wax. Rewax these areas even if the rest of the vehicle does not need
it.
WARNING
■Dry off brakes that have become wet by driving slowly, releasin g the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes several times until
the brake performance returns to normal
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Increased stopping distan ce or the
vehicle pulling to one side when braking could result in a seri ous accident.
Light braking will indicate whether the brakes have been affect ed.
NOTICE
●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 e ither 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 acti-
vate automatically.
If you are going to clean the windshield, be sure the wipers ar e turned off
completely (when it is most likely that the engine is left runn ing) this is par-
ticularly important when clearing ice and snow.
● Do not spray water in the engine compartment. Otherwise, it cou ld result in
engine-starting problems or damage to electrical parts.
● When washing and waxing the vehicle, be careful not to apply ex cessive
force to any single area of the vehicle roof or the antenna. Otherwise, you
could dent the vehicle or damage the antenna.
● Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents containing
highly alkaline or caustic agents on chrome-plated or anodized aluminum
parts. This may damage the protective coating; also, cleaners a nd deter-
gents may discolor or deteriorate the paint.
