How to use Toyota wipers?

Toyota wipers can be operated when the engine switch is in the "ON" position. Here is relevant information about wipers: 1. Basic introduction: Also known as windshield wipers, they are devices used to wipe off raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. They consist of components such as an electric motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly; 2. Operating principle: The power source of the wiper comes from the electric motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. It uses a DC permanent magnet motor, and the wiper motor installed on the front windshield is generally integrated with the worm gear mechanical part.
When driving a Toyota, let me talk about how to use the wipers. Generally, there's a control lever on the right side of the steering wheel. You can activate the wipers by pushing it up or down. A gentle push sets them to low speed, suitable for light rain; pushing it all the way sets them to high speed, which works great in heavy rain. There's also a small knob at the top of the lever—turning it adjusts the speed of the intermittent mode. For example, when it's drizzling, I set it to slow intermittent mode to avoid constant adjustments. The washer function is also handy: pull the lever toward yourself, and the washer fluid sprays onto the windshield while the wipers move a few times to wipe it clean. Don’t forget to top up the washer fluid—I use regular cleaning solution from the supermarket. In winter, when there’s ice and snow, I prefer to spray first before scraping to prevent freezing. Toyota models like the Corolla all follow this design—simple and easy to get used to, even for beginners. Keeping the wipers clean is important. I wipe the rubber blades with a damp cloth every quarter to prevent aging and squeaking, which helps improve visibility and safety.
