SWITCHES Twist the interval adjuster upward to increase the wiping time interval between sweeps, and downward to decrease it. The wiper lever must be in the "INT" position. The time interval between sweeps is shortened when the vehicle speed increases. When the vehicle speed reaches more than about 20 km/h (12 mph) with the interval adjuster in the full upward position, the time interval becomes the shortest 1.5 seconds. If you stop the vehicle with the wiper switch in the "LO" position, the wiper speed automatically changes from low speed to variable intermittent operation speed.* This function does not work when the interval adjuster is in the full upward position. The low washer fluid warning light in the instrument cluster comes on when the fluid level in the tank becomes nearly empty. For information on adding washer fluid, see "Adding washer fluid" on page 618. In cold weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before using the washer. This will help prevent icing, which could block your vision. NOTE: * This feature can be deactivated. Ask your Lexus dealer for details. To make the washer squirt, pull the lever toward you and release it. If the wiper lever is in the "OFF" position, the wipers will automatically make 3 wipes and then a single wipe later to sweep the windshield completely.* The interval between the 3 wipes and the last wipe will depend on the vehicle speed. The last sweep does not happen if the vehicle speed exceeds about 170 km/h (106 mph). NOTE: * The last single wipe can be deactivated. Ask your Lexus dealer for details. 38
