2005 AVALON from Jan. ’05 Prod. (OM41408U)
CAUTION
Be careful not to get your fingers
caught between the wipers and wind-
shield.
When the wiper lever is in the posi-
tion 1 with the ignition switch on, the
wipers could operate automatically in
the following cases:
 If you touch the upper center of the
windshield adjacent to the sensor.
 If you wipe the upper center of the
windshield (adjacent to which the
sensor is located) with a towel
or
other object.
 If the windshield vibrates.
 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.
To squirt washer fluid, pull the lever
toward you (position 5).
After the washer operates, the wipers op-
erate 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 “INT” 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 (106
mph).
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 367 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 freezing 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
or may damage wiper blades.
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.
