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 ignition 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. 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. 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 558. In cold weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before using the washer. This will help prevent icing, which could block your vision. NOTICE Do not apply detergent to or wet the automatic wiper control sensor when cleaning the inside of the windshield. NOTICE Do not operate the wipers if the windshield is dry. It may scratch the glass. 36
