2010 Toyota Prius: Windshield Wipers and Washers

[brassard8]

I think if peoples are too stupid to operate windshield wipers, then they should not drive a car...

[djbas5309]

Seriously, wiper functions are pretty standard. It's not that difficult

@djbas5309 You will be surprised. It varies by manufacturer, so a Ford wiper control is different from a Toyota control. And I have seen many cars across many manufacturers, and they all differ.

[djbas5309]

@ThePointblank Actually the main difference between a lot of manufacturers is the wiper stalk moves either up or down. They follow the same basic off>delay>contiuous layout if there is a seperate wiper stalk. DUUUUUH

@djbas5309 Actually, on Ford vehicles, the windshield wiper stalk is on the left stalk, with the blinkers. You have to twist the end of the stalk to use the wiper blades. On a BMW, the right stalk adjusts the speed of the blades, with up going to intermittent then faster, down to slow then stop the wipers. I work for a car rental place, and I see a lot of cars, and they all differ in their controls.

@ThePointblank Yes and I used to work at a car dealership and saw an ass load myself. Any idiot should be able to figure out wipers, I guess I'm giving people too much credit

Awesome! So useful and informative! I just started driving my new car for 2 days and super confused about the wipers.

Is the new Prius going to come with a DVD with all of these on it?

[malgacho]

Why waste a DVD? I hope they simply upload this to their website. Either way, we know we can find this instructional videos right here.
