SWITCHES CAUTION Be careful not to get your fingers caught between the wipers and windshield. When the wiper lever is in the "AUTO" position with the engine switch on, the wipers could operate automatically in the following cases: D If you touch the upper center of the windshield adjacent to the sensor. D If you wipe the upper center of the windshield (adjacent to which the sensor is located) with a towel. D If the windshield vibrates. D If you touch the sensor. For mist wiper operations (a single wipe), pull the lever up and release it. 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: *This function can be changed as follows: D The time before the last single wipe can be set for about 3 seconds. D The last single wipe can be deactivated. Ask your Lexus dealer for details. The warning message "LOW WASHER FLUID" is displayed in the multi−information display when the fluid level in the tank becomes very low. For information on adding washer fluid, see "Adding washer fluid" on page 589. When the headlights are on and the washers are activated by pushing the windshield washer switch, the headlight cleaner operates once automatically. 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. 54
