People have had windshield wiper heaters on their Toyota for years and never known. Here is whit it is, how to identify that you have it and how to use it.
I have that button, i never known that is for heating wipers and you know what I’m living in cold weather here . Good to know that what it does. Thanks man you just saved my wipers for whole winter season .
😊thank you. I am just upset that my salesman didn't inform me about this. I also just had to replace the passenger mirror and upon reading the description I found out they are heated but I had no idea how it worked until you just told me. Thank you
Having owned a Ford Fiesta, I'm in the UK, it comes as standard with a quickclear heated windshield, it has very fine heating element through the windscreen and Ford has had this feature on its cars in Europe since 1985. It will melt the ice off the whole windshields in under a minute, very good feature
@@stevenwelchtoyota it's a very good feature, look on RU-vid for quickclear heated windshield and you will see how good it is, it's ford that originally came up with this feature and surprised they never used this in and it was not available in the states
Wow that is amazingly wrong. There is a such thing as rain sensing wipers but that it not the switch for it. This explains the rain sensing wipers operation ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BBaQzAiPFf4.html
Thank you very much. My 2023 Corolla Cross Le has this and now I know what its for. Sales person was pretty thourough when going over the features but guess he missed this as I picked up the car in July. 👍
Just noticed the button today while driving in a snowstorm to/from Denver International Airport. I was looking for how to turn the side-view mirror heaters on initially, then found this video. Thanks!!
@@stevenwelchtoyota I learned two things from your video: The side mirrors mated with the rear-window defroster & the windshield-wiper heater. Thanks Steven!
I have a 2021 Rav 4 and have the button. I thought it might be for wiper defrost, but thank you for showing us! We are set to get up to 21 inches of snow this week. This will be very handy!
I just noticed mine on my 2005 Toyota Caldina GT4 Turbo...weather in Wellington New Zealand isn't bad for snow but for ice. Winter almost here so this will be put to good use. Cheers..
Thank you. I’m on my third Hylander that I own, plus I own a Camry I love Toyota’s and I never knew about this button. I’m kind of frustrated about that however, I’m glad I know it now thank you, sir.
It is so strange that the RAV4 with the cold weather package has this but not heated mirrors. Although I think there might be a passage for heat inside the car to get to the inside of the side mirrors and defrost them that way.
great info, I have a 2019 Limited Rav4 so I guess the rear window defogger will also clear up my outside mirrors right..? Im in Vancouver Canada and next week we are getting in to 20 degrees below 0 so this will sure come in handy... Thanks again for your great info.
I had a new mini van ford, in Germany that had front window defroster across all of the front window. The lines were in a "W" pattern. You had to LOOK to see them
I’m glad to know what that button is for. I’ve had my 22 RAV4 for a year and recently used the button while it was raining after I’d read it was a wiper warmer. Guess it’s not needed for rain, unless it’s freezing. But what is the button to the left with the headlight symbol?
I have a 2013 highlander and it seems like the heated wiper feature only lasts for 10 minutes and then turns off. Any way tonextend that timer to 20 min or more?
What if the package 2021 limited ( venza) has everything but that, is it prewired ? Because when I pulled out that blank button cover it has a connector
Yes if it is an option. Some vehicles like the 4Runner has it on all of them so a piece of glass should have it. Beware that sometimes aftermarket glass can eliminate the feature. If you go cheap they can put a piece of glass in the vehicle that support the feature
I have a new Highlander. There is a defroster/mirror heater switch and heater symbol on the mirror. Should the heater symbol on the mirrors illuminate when on?? Thanks
RAV4 2022.. ? Windshield wipers totally freeze up icy and makes it hard to clear the window. This vehicle, we use it as a work vehicle that picks up multiple people during the day... Hopefully I'm missing something...that is available for this issue... I have a front window defroster a rear window defroster... So hopefully I'm just missing where the button is for the lower windshield where the windshield wipers actually sit... I do need to check what level of RAV4 it is.. 4:36 (My note for reference: Winter Weather Package, Above XLE)
I wonder why this is eliminated from the US versions of the Venza. I have used it quite a bit on my Highlander, but on the Venza I have ordered it will be missing. Apparently, our Canadian friends still have this feature...
@@stevenwelchtoyota Yeah. That's why it's so weird that the Venza doesn't. As the other poster said the Venza has it in Canada and it's mentioned in the owners manual but for some reason they decided not to offer it in the US. I'm hoping they add it for 2022.
Hi from upstate NY. Thanks for the information. Does it come on with remote start. Such as rear window defrost and mirrors on my Jeep. Considering a Highlander xle
@@stevenwelchtoyota i wish I had one of those models. I have a basic LE....question for you Steve ..for good gas mileage. Is Eco best on hwy And Normal best in City or vice versa? Thank you
