Toyota AURION Owner's Manual page 108

The wiper speed is determined by the amount
of raindrops detected by the automatic wiper
control sensor.
The automatic wiper control sensor is on the
inside of the windshield as shown above.
If you feel that the operation of the automatic
wiper control is too fast or too slow, twist the
automatic control adjuster in the "--" direction
to lower sensitivity, and "+" direction to boost
the sensitivity.
If the windshield temperature is as follows,
the wipers do not operate.
Extremely cold (at less than --15_C [5_F])
D
Extremely hot (at more than 90_C
D
[194_F])
If the system malfunctions, the system will
switch to intermittent operations.
As soon as the vehicle starts to move, the
wiper will operate once to clear the driver's
front view if it is set to AUTO when it rains.
CAUTION
Be careful not to get your fingers caught
between the wipers and windshield.
When the wiper lever is in the position
1 with the ignition switch set to ON, the
wipers could operate automatically in
the following cases:
If you touch the upper centre of the
D
windshield adjacent to the sensor.
If you wipe the upper centre of the wind-
D
shield (adjacent to which the sensor is
located) with a towel or other object.
If the windshield vibrates.
D
If you touch the sensor.

NOTICE
Do not apply detergent to or wet the
automatic wiper control sensor when
cleaning the inside of the windshield.
LIGHTS, WIPERS AND DEFOGGER
To spray washer fluid, pull the lever to-
ward you (position 5).
After the washer operates, the wipers oper-
ate three times in low operation, pause for
several seconds, and then operate once
more. This occurs only if the wiper switch is
in the OFF or AUTO position.
The interval between the 3 wipes and the final
wipe depends on the vehicle speed. The final
sweep does not occur if the vehicle speed
exceeds 170 km/h.
The final wipe (after a pause of several
seconds) prevents the washer fluid from
dripping. The final wipe can be set to occur
after a three second pause, or can be
deactivated. For details, ask your Toyota
dealer.
For instructions on adding washer fluid, see
"Adding washer fluid" on page 274 in Section
7--3.
In freezing weather, warm the windshield with
the defroster before using the washer. This
will help prevent the washer fluid from freez-
ing on your windshield, which can block your
vision.
NOTICE
Do not operate the wipers if the wind-
shield is dry. It may scratch the glass.
When waxing your vehicle, make sure that
the washer nozzles do not become blocked.
If a nozzle becomes blocked, contact your
Toyota dealer to have the vehicle serviced.
NOTICE
If a nozzle becomes blocked, do not try
to clear it with a pin or other object. The
nozzle will be damaged.
