Windshield Wiper Position: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lexus ES 300 and 2002 Lexus ES 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The wiper blades retract under the hood when the wipers are turned off. In the following cases, the wipers should be shifted from the retracted position (position 2) to the rest position (position 1) above the hood level:
- When cleaning the windshield.
- When inspecting or replacing the wipers.
- When the retraction may be obstructed by snow, etc. at the bottom of the windshield.
Other than the above cases, keep the wipers in the retracted position.
NOTE:
To prevent the wiper blades from being deformed, be sure to hold the connection of the wiper arm and wiper blade securely.
