found out something new about the celi, single-wipe action Options

[azian_advanced]

so we're having pretty good weather here and the snow on the streets were melting.. and i'm following a truck who doesn't have any mudguards on and all these muddy drops are landing on my windshield. so i back up and keep a good distance. i set my wiper on to the 1st tick, and the wiper-interval-adjuster thingy set to the slowest.. but even when it goes every 4 secs, i sometimes find it still too close of an interval.

i figured if somehow you can just make it go once only. then i thought about how high beams can be flicked on demand by pulling the switch towards you. so i do the same to the wiper switch and there it goes!

so yah, i just wanted to inform those who may find this feature useful.. and those who don't, well sorry to have wasted your two minutes..

yup, but also for thoes with cruise control, when you set it if you pull the thing down it will decrease your speed by like 2mph, ever time you click it down, or if you click it up it will add like 2mph each time, I though it was kinda cool. but not worth making a new thread about.

[j0e_p3t]

i've always known about the wiper thing. i didn't think it was that cool the time i found out about it, but this thread totally changed my opinion.

lol

known about it, just dont hold it too long
your engine squirts NAWZ at you. . .

unless you modified your sprayers, then you can hit anything else you please...within range

[Drocay]

Its true, like the bald guy in the convertable in front of you, just make sure you have room to get away...

yea it's set so when you pull it back the rear "sprayer" or "windshield-washer-drooler" starts to ooze it out onto the back window and the wiper is already going. hold it on longer it should 'ooze' out. lol

Damn IT!! I wasted 2 mins of my life reading your pointless story about the adjustable wiper speeds!! I want my life back!

[dustin15brown]

wow i'm pretty sure this just made my day sadly enough... i always get mad when the intervals are too close together

[easternpiro1]

you guys are hillarious....

[johnsonius_87]

I never thought someone wouldnt know about that. I use it all the time. Known about it since before I got my car, never really thought much about it.

[95CelicaST]

Thats why if you look at the wiper switch it says "Mist" and is meant to be pulled in...

[creis]

only really matters when you get that dry wiper noise, that sux, or if it rubs the water over the windows and gives you even less visability because of it, but I just have bad wipers that need replacing.

I love that feature.

[Drocay]

I was seroius about the nos button, i guess all celi's dont come with that feature.
