Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
Operating the wiper lever
Operating the lever oper-ates the wipers or washer as fol-lows:
Intermittent windshield wipers
When intermittent windshield wiper operation is selected, wiper interval can also be adjusted.
- off*1 or o*2
- *1 or *2
Intermittent operation The intermittent windshield wiper operates more frequently as vehicle speed becomes higher. - *1 or *2
Low speed operation - *1 or *2
High speed operation - *1 or *2Temporary operation
1. For the U.S.A.
2. For Canada
Wiper intervals can be adjusted when intermittent operation is selected.
- Increases the intermittent windshield wiper frequency
- Decreases the intermittent windshield wiper frequency
- Windshield cleaning washer/wiper dual operation
Pulling the lever operates the wip-ers and washer. The wipers will automatically oper-ate a couple of times after the washer squirts. (After operating several times, the wipers operate once more time after a short delay to prevent dripping. However, the dripping prevention does not oper-ate while the vehicle is moving.)
Rain-sensing windshield wipers
When is selected, the wipers will operate automatically when the sensor detects falling rain. The system automatically adjusts wiper timing in accor-dance with rain volume and vehicle speed.
- *1 or *2 Off
- Rain-sensing operation
- *1 or *2Low speed operation
- *1 or *2
High speed operation - *1 or *2Temporary operation
1:For the U.S.A.

6. Increases the sensitivity
7. Decreases the sensitivity
8. Windshield cleaning washer/wiper dual operation
Pulling the lever operates the wip-ers and windshield cleaning washer.
The wipers will automatically oper-ate a couple of times after the washer squirts. (After operating several times, the wipers operate once more time after a short delay to prevent dripping. However, the dripping prevention does not oper-ate while the vehicle is moving.)
9. Camera cleaning washer operation (if equipped)
Pushing the lever operates the ded-icated camera cleaning washer to clean the rear camera for pan- oramic view monitor*. *: Refer to “MULTIMEDIA OWNER’S MANUAL”.
The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The power switch is in ON.
Using the voice control system (if equipped)
The following operations can be performed using the voice control system:
- Operating the windshield wipers only once
- Operating the windshield clean-ing washer (it can be performed only when the vehicle is stopped)
For details regarding the voice con-trol system, refer to “MULTIMEDIA OWNER’S MANUAL”.
Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation
Vehicles with intermittent wind-shield wipers
With low speed windshield wiper operation selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to intermittent wiper operation when the vehicle is stationary. (However, when the wiper intervals are adjusted to the highest level, the mode will not switch.)
Vehicles with rain-sensing wind-shield wipers
With low speed windshield wiper operation selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to intermittent wiper operation when the vehicle is stationary. (However, when the sensor sensitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the mode will not switch.)
Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
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.
- If the wiper switch is turned to the position while the power switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
- If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 185°F (85°C) or higher, or 5°F (-15°C) or lower, the auto-matic operation may not occur. In this case, operate the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.
Front door opening linked wind-shield wiper stop function
(vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
When Auto is selected and the windshield wipers are operating, if a front door is opened while the vehi-cle is stopped and the P position is selected, operation of the wind-shield wipers will be stopped to pre-vent anyone near the vehicle from being sprayed by water from the wipers. When the front door is closed, wiper operation will resume.
If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the windshield washer fluid reser-voir.
When stopping the hybrid sys-tem in an emergency while driv-ing
If the windshield wipers are operat-ing when the hybrid system is stopped, the windshield wipers will operate in high speed operation. After the vehicle is stopped, opera-tion will return to normal when the power switch is turned to ON, or operation will stop when the driver’s door is opened.
Customization
Some functions can be customized. (Customizable features: P.552)
WARNING
Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may oper-ate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the windshield is sub-ject to vibration in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your fingers or anything else do not become caught in the windshield wipers.
WARNING
Caution regarding the use of windshield cleaning washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continu-ally as the washer fluid pump may overheat.
When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact your Toyota dealer. Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.
When lifting the windshield wipers
Change the windshield wipers to the rest position used for when there is accumulated snow or ice before lifting the windshield wip-ers.
Otherwise, the windshield wipers may contact the hood, possibly resulting in damage.
Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
If the windshield is coated with water repellent coating, the rain-drop sensor may not properly detect raindrops, preventing auto-matic mode from operating prop-erly.
To prevent 12-volt battery dis-charge
Do not leave the wipers on longer than necessary when the hybrid system is off.
Changing the windshield wiper rest position/Lifting the windshield wiper
When the windshield wipers are not being used, they retract to below the hood. To enable the windshield wipers to be lifted when parking in cold conditions or when replacing a windshield wiper insert, change the rest position of the windshield wipers to the service position using the wiper lever.

Raising the wipers to the service position
Within approximately 45 sec-onds of turning the power switch to OFF, move the wiper lever to the (U.S.A.) or (Canada) position and hold it for approximately 2 seconds or more. The wipers will move to the service position.
Lifting the windshield wipers
While holding the hook portion of the wiper arm, lift the wind-shield wiper from the wind-shield.
Lowering the windshield wipers to the retracted position
With the windshield wipers placed on the windshield, turn the power switch to ON and then move the wiper lever to an operating position. When the wiper switch is turned off, the windshield wipers will stop at the retracted position. Even if the wipers deviate while the power switch is OFF, the wipers will return to the normal position.
NOTICE
When lifting the windshield wipers
- Do not lift the windshield wipers when they are in the retracted position below the hood. Other-wise, they may contact the hood, possibly resulting in dam-age to a windshield wiper and/or the hood.
- Do not lift a windshield wiper by the wiper blade. Otherwise, the wiper blade may be deformed.
- Do not operate the wiper lever when the windshield wipers are lifted. Otherwise, the wind-shield wipers may contact the hood, possibly resulting in dam-age to the windshield wipers and/or hood.
