You reach to turn on your windshield wipers, so you can see the road ahead more easily, but you notice it\u2019s starting to get more difficult to see out of your back window. Or maybe the elements have taken a number on the cleanliness of your back window and it needs to be cleaned. How do you turn on the rear windshield wiper in a Toyota Highlander? That\u2019s the question we\u2019re going to answer for you today.<!--more--><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6981 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/369\/2018\/09\/04034645\/Windshield_Wiper_B165_b.jpg\" alt=\"Windshield with wipers on\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/369\/2018\/09\/04034645\/Windshield_Wiper_B165_b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/369\/2018\/09\/04034645\/Windshield_Wiper_B165_b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toyotavacaville.com\/blog\/what-do-the-dual-zone-automatic-climate-control-buttons-mean-in-the-toyota-rav4\/\">What do Toyota dual-zone automatic climate control buttons mean?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Using the windshield wiper knob in the Highlander<\/h3>\n<p>As it turns out, the answer is pretty simple. You\u2019re probably already familiar with the windshield wiper knob on the right side of your steering wheel which has several functions, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pulling the knob down:<\/strong> turns the front wipers on, pull down again (and again) to increase wiper speed<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pulling up once on the knob:<\/strong> activates the wipers for one wipe<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pulling the knob toward you:<\/strong> sprays wiper fluid on the front windshield and wipes it away<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rotating the dial in the middle of the knob:<\/strong> adjusts the wiper speed to faster (toward you) or slower (away from you) intervals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>But what about controlling the Toyota Highlander\u2019s rear wipers?<\/h3>\n<p>Now, for the answer: At the end of the windshield wiper knob (on the right), you\u2019ll find the control for the rear wiper. If you rotate it away from you, the rear wiper will turn on. One click turns the rear wipers on intermittent operation (INT), and two clicks turns the wipers on normal operation (ON).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you have any other questions about the features and capabilities of your Toyota Highlander, as well as any other vehicle in the lineup, we invite you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toyotavacaville.com\/contact-toyota-vacaville-in-vacaville-ca\">contact our team at Toyota Vacaville<\/a> or get in touch with your local Toyota dealer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>You may also like: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toyotavacaville.com\/blog\/what-do-the-colored-lines-on-the-toyota-backup-camera-mean\/\">What are the colored lines on the Toyota backup camera display?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, you\u2019re driving along the highway in your new (or, at least, new to you) Toyota Highlander, and all the sudden you hit a patch of rain clouds.
