'02 AVALON U (L/O 0107) Ignition switch light Windshield wipers and washer To squirt washer fluid, pull the lever toward you. If the windshield wipers are off, they will operate a couple of times after the washer squirts. For instructions on adding washer fluid, see "Adding washer fluid" in Section 7 −3. In freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before using the washer. This will help prevent the washer fluid from freezing on your windshield, which can block your vision. For easy access to the ignition switch, the ignition switch light comes on when any of the doors are opened. The light remains on for some time after all the doors are closed. To prevent the battery being discharged, the light will automatically turn off when the key is removed and the door is left opened for 20 minutes or more. To turn on the windshield wipers, move the lever to the desired setting. The key must be in the "ON" position. Lever position Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 Speed setting Intermittent Slow Fast NOTICE Do not operate the wipers if the windshield is dry. It may scratch the glass. The "INT TIME" band lets you adjust the wiping time interval when the wiper lever is in the intermittent position (position 1). Twist the band upward to increase the time between sweeps, and downward to decrease it. 102 2002 MY AVALON_U (OM22493U)
