Thats odd, but yeah, your picky.

 

1st world problem. Don’t you know kids are starving in ………

Try this. Start car. Turn on wiper. Shut off car with the wiper half way or more along its arc. Can it be raised now?
take a look at this

Wiper Service Mode/Winter Mode

Last Friday we got a good amount of snow and I spent a little bit of time trying to figure out how to put the wipers up to keep them from freezing over. I finally figured it out and thought I’d pass it along to you all. After you turn the car off hold the wiper stall in the up position for 3-5...

Thank you! Learn something new every day!

Service Mode!

Wow who knew? Certainly not me!

 

Did you check the manual? I know those instructions were there when I had my 2018.

 

Did you check the manual?

Manual? What manual? We don’t need no steenkin’ manuals.🤣😂🤣
after all isn’t that what google is for. 🤣😂

 

Service Mode!

 

Yeah, who would have ever thought the answer would be in the instruction book. Lots of other good info too.

 

My biggest pet peeve is when I start driving the car beeps if it's below 3C outside to let me know roads maybe slippery with no way to shut that off. I'm in Canada. Those idiots at Toyota must not have realized some part of the world have temps below 3C for half the year.

 

This makes me want to set my Camry on fire and drive it into a ditch. This is the most ridiculous warning. And why, cause some people down south can't check the temperature themselves to avoid driving into a tree???
I can't believe this made it into the Canadian spec for the Camry. I really have to sell this piece of crap.
Sorry, I had a few pints this evening.

 

It happens exactly when the temperature lowers to 37 degrees. I would shut it off if I could.

My bigger pet peeve is that when I put a Christmas tree in the back and can't close the trunk, it will beep at me the whole way home. I get it. I got it the first time you beeped at me. Just give it up already! Obviously I'm going to leave it open since I ignored you the first 20 times.

 

You need to trigger the latch on the hood side...use a key or something smaller to click the latch "closed" so it thinks it's latched to the ring on the bumper side. This will diable the warning sound. Once ready to actually close, pull the "safety exit" release and it will allow you to close the trunk as normal.

 

I've remedied my biggest pet peeve (so far), which was the seat belt chime.

When I get home from work, I check the mailbox at the street and then go up my driveway 400 feet to my house w/o my seat belt on. I know my seatbelt's not on! I'm not putting it on to drive up my driveway, for chrissakes! The chime was ridiculous! But it was even worse with my Lab in the back seat - that drove me batty! Thankfully I was able to silence the chime using the Carista Pro app!

 

Turn off your car. Within a few seconds, press up (counterclockwise) on the wiper control lever and they'll sweep up and stop in their fully-counterclockwise position. Then you can lift them off the glass the usual way.

To put them back to normal, make sure the wipers are back down against the glass, turn the car back on, and set the wiper lever to any of its operating settings.

It's a shame this is buried on pages 246-7 of the 2021 Camry's manual!

But I should point out that I rented a non-electric Chevy Volt (they do exist) and had to go just about as deep into its manual to figure out how to open the door over the gas filler cap at the gas station - it's controlled by a lever on the floor! And it's a "stealth" four-door car: the door handles for the rear doors are hidden up at the roof-line. I only found them when I was unable to tilt the driver's seat forward to let a passenger into the back seat!

It's a shame there's no review of these obese operating manuals to put often-needed information like this up front!
