Enter the driver's cabin and locate the position of the vehicle's wiper lever. Understand the usage of each wiper function. The "O" position is the off position for the vehicle's wiper. Adjust the vehicle's wiper according to actual needs. Pulling the wiper lever backward sprays water on the front windshield.

I've been driving my Lexus for almost four years now, and the automatic wipers are incredibly practical—they make every rainy drive worry-free. To activate them, you just need to locate the control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel and turn it to the position marked AUTO. It uses a sensor on the windshield to detect rain, automatically starting and adjusting the speed when raindrops hit. Remember to clean the sensor area—dust buildup can slow its response. Lexus really nailed this thoughtful design, unlike some cars where you have to fiddle with settings endlessly. When visibility gets blurry in the rain, it helps me focus on the road, boosting safety. I recommend checking the wiper blades regularly to prevent aging from affecting performance. With this feature on, rainy commutes or long drives become much more comfortable.

From a technical perspective, Lexus' automatic wipers operate via optical sensors, making them extremely user-friendly. Simply move the right-hand stalk on the steering column to the AUTO position. The sensor near the rearview mirror monitors rainfall intensity and automatically activates the wipers. This design eliminates manual operation, reducing driver distractions. I recommend cleaning the sensor monthly to prevent dirt from causing misjudgments. During light rain, it might be less sensitive, so you can temporarily assist manually. Integrated into the vehicle's smart system, it ensures safer and more efficient driving in rainy conditions. The seamless experience showcases the human-centric approach of modern automotive technology.

As someone who prioritizes safety, I rely on automatic features daily. In a Lexus, activating the wipers is as simple as turning the control stalk to the AUTO position. When it rains, they start automatically, swiftly clearing raindrops for a clear view. This eliminates distractions from manual stalk adjustments, allowing me to focus on driving and reducing accident risks. Sensors may be affected by windshield dust, so keeping it clean ensures reliability. Safe driving in the rain comes first, and automatic wipers are an essential aid. I recommend new drivers master this feature, especially setting the AUTO mode in advance during severe weather.

Why is there a strange noise when turning the steering wheel in place?

If there is a strange noise inside the car when turning the steering wheel, the following aspects should be mainly considered: 1. Sound from the turn signal rebound clip: If the noise occurs only when turning the steering wheel after the turn signal is turned on, it is usually the sound from the rebound clip of the turn signal auto-return mechanism, which is a normal sound. Following the direction of the turn signal, turning the steering wheel will produce a "click" sound, and three "click" sounds will occur when the steering wheel completes one full rotation. This is because there are three auto-return positions on the steering column, hence this sound. As long as the turn signal is turned off or the steering wheel returns to its original position and the turn signal switch resets, this sound will disappear. 2. Sound from the steering column dust cover: Whether turning the steering wheel in place or while driving, if the noise comes from below the steering wheel, the steering column dust cover should be checked. This is because the steering column dust cover can easily produce friction sounds due to lack of lubrication. The solution is simple: apply some grease inside the dust cover to help with lubrication, and the noise will disappear.

Can a Rusty Car Door Be Repaired?

Yes, a rusty car door can be repaired. If rust is found on the door, it should be addressed promptly to prevent the rust from spreading. If the rust is on the surface and the area is small, you can use water sandpaper to grind off the rust and then spray a layer of anti-rust paint. If the door is severely corroded with large areas of paint peeling, the rusted paint must be completely scraped off, followed by filling and smoothing with putty. Once the putty hardens, repainting can proceed. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Exterior inspection: Before driving, check the doors, hood, trunk, and glass condition, inspect the body for damage, tilting, or any oil or water leaks. 2. Engine and various fluids: Check the fastening of engine components and inspect for oil or water leaks at the joints. Adjust and tighten belts, and check the fastening of pipes and wires. Top up engine oil, coolant, and electrolyte as needed. 3. Tires: Inspect tire wear and clean the trunk. Replace tires when they approach the wear indicators. Check for bulges, abnormal wear, aging cracks, or hard damage. 4. Cleaning and lubrication: Clean oil stains from the engine hood, door, and trunk hinge mechanisms, and lubricate them. Antifreeze typically has a service life of 2 years and should be replaced during maintenance, along with a thorough cleaning of the cooling system. Due to the hygroscopic nature of the braking system, brake fluid should be replaced every two years.

What to Do When the Engine Fails to Shut Down?

Engine failure to shut down may be caused by incomplete power cut-off to the shutdown solenoid valve, key switch sticking, damage to the shutdown solenoid valve, or deformation of the lever. It could also be due to sticking of the unit pump or the engine governor rack sticking or deforming. Below are the steps to troubleshoot the engine shutdown issue: 1. Starting Circuit: Check that the starting circuit is properly powered and the ignition key switch is not sticking. 2. According to customer feedback and on-site testing, the roller operates without speed drop and manual shutdown is normal, which proves that the unit pumps in each cylinder are not sticking. 3. Shutdown Solenoid Valve: After replacing the shutdown solenoid valve with a new one using the correct installation method and testing with power, the engine still fails to shut down automatically. 5. Engine Stop Lever: If the engine stop lever feels insufficiently elastic when moved, it may indicate that the engine governor rack is sticking or deformed, causing damage to the shutdown solenoid valve and preventing the engine from shutting down automatically.

Is It Serious to Forget to Lock the Car Door?

Forgetting to lock the car door is very serious. The reasons are as follows: 1. The vehicle cannot start: The body control module cannot enter low-power mode, leading to higher power consumption. The battery may drain significantly, and in severe cases, the vehicle may fail to start. 2. Property loss: There is a risk of theft of items inside the car, which can cause significant inconvenience and financial loss to work and life. 3. Precautions: Try to use the mechanical key to lock the car. Park in a guarded parking lot and ask for a parking receipt. Develop a habit of not leaving valuables such as cameras, phones, wallets, etc., in the car.
