Toyota Yaris: Owner Maintenance / Wiper Blades
Contamination of either the windshield or the blades with foreign matter
can reduce wiper effectiveness. Common sources
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes.
If the blades are not wiping properly, clean the window and
blades with a good cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse thoroughly with clean
water. Repeat if necessary.
WARNING
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO position and the ignition is
switched
ON, the wipers may move automatically in the following cases
- If the windshield above the rain sensor is touched.
- If the windshield above the rain sensor is wiped with a cloth.
- If the windshield is struck with a hand or other object.
- If the rain sensor is struck with a hand or other object from
inside the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or fingers as it may cause injury, or
damage
the wipers. When washing or servicing the vehicle, make sure the wiper
lever is in the OFF position.
NOTICE
Hot waxes applied by automatic car washers have been known to affect
the wiper’s ability to clean windows.
To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do not use gasoline, kerosene,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.
All moving points of the body, such as door and hood hinges
and locks, should be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on locks during cold
weather...
When the wipers no longer clean well, the blades are probably worn
or cracked.
Replace the wiper blades using the following procedure.
Raise the wiper arm and turn
the blade assembly to expose
the plastic locking clip...
