SWITCHES 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). NOTICE If a nozzle becomes blocked, do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged. NOTE: *The last single wipe can be deactivated. Ask your Lexus dealer for details. The low washer fluid warning light in the instrument cluster comes on when the fluid level in the tank becomes very low. For information on adding washer fluid, see "Adding washer fluid" on page 411. In cold weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before using the washer. This will help prevent icing, which could block your vision. The rear window and outside rear view mirror defogger automatically turns on when you operate the wipers. NOTICE Do not operate the wipers if the windshield is dry. It may scratch the glass. When waxing your vehicle, make sure the washer nozzles do not become blocked. If a nozzle becomes blocked, contact your Lexus dealer to have the vehicle serviced. 35
