'06 AVALON_U (L/O 0508) Windshield wipers and washer (intermittent operation type) If all the doors are closed and the ignition switch is set at ACC, the ignition switch light and interior light will fade out. If all the doors are locked, all the lights will fade out. When the transmission selector lever is placed out of the "P" position with the ignition switch is set at ON, the exterior foot lights will fade out. To prevent the battery being discharged, all of the lights will automatically turn off the key removed (vehicles with key cylinder- type ignition switch) or the ignition is turned off (vehicles with smart key system), and the door is left opened for about 20 minutes. CENTER CONSOLE ILLUMINATION The center console illumination comes on when the ignition switch is set at ACC or ON. ILLUMINATIONS OF ENTRY FUNCTION (vehicles with smart key system) The interior light and exterior foot lights come on and remain on for about 15 seconds when you carry the registered key into the entry function actuation area. For further information of entry function actuation area, see "Smart key system" on page 27 in Section 1- 2. Rotating the band on the lever lets you adjust the wiper 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. When the lever is set to the intermittent position (position 1), the wipers move according to the vehicle speed. The higher the vehicle speed is, the shorter the intermittent time becomes. When the lever is in the position 2, the wipers operate at low speed while the vehicle is moving and, when it stops, they switch to intermittent operation. If the lever is shifted "LO" position while the vehicle is stopped, the wiper will begin to work in intermittent operation after a couple of wipes at low speed. This feature can be deactivated. For details, ask your Toyota dealer. As soon as the vehicle starts to move, the wiper will operate once to clear the driver's front view if it is set to "INT". To turn on the windshield wipers, move the lever to the desired setting. The ignition switch must be set at ON.
