I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
Rotating the band on the lever lets you
adjust the wiper time interval when the
wiper lever is in the intermittent position
(position 1). Twist the band upward to
increase the time between sweeps, and
downward to decrease it.
When the lever is set to the intermittent
position (position 1), the wipers move ac-
cording to the vehicle speed. The higher
the vehicle speed is, the shorter the inter-
mittent time becomes.
When the lever is in the position 2, the
wipers operate at low speed while the
vehicle is moving and, when it stops, they
switch to intermittent operation. If the le-
ver is shifted "LO" position while the ve-
hicle is stopped, the wiper will begin to
work in intermittent operation after a cou-
ple of wipes at low speed.
This feature can be deactivated. For de-
tails, ask your Toyota dealer.
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 "INT".
