CAMRY_HV_EE
■
Raindrop sensor
● If the wiper switch is turned to the “AUTO” position while the power switch is
in ON mode, the wiper will operate once to show that “AUTO” mode is acti-
vated.
●
If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 85

C (185

F) or higher, or -30

C
(-22

F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate
the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.
■
If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
■
Front door opening linked windshield wiper stop function
When “AUTO” is selected and the windshield wipers are operating, if a front
door is opened, the operation of the windshield wipers will be stopped to pre-
vent anyone near the vehicle from being sprayed by water from the wipers,
provided the vehicle is stopped. When the front door is closed, wiper opera-
tion will resume.
■
When stopping the engine in an emergency while driving
If the windshield wipers are operating when the hybrid system is stopped, the
windshield wipers will operate in high speed operation. After the vehicle is
stopped, operation will return to normal when the power switch is turned to
ON mode, or operation will stop when the driver’s door is opened.
● 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.
