SWITCHES The time interval between sweeps is shortened when the vehicle speed increases. When the vehicle speed reaches more than about 20 km/h (12 mph) with the interval adjuster in "F" position, the time interval becomes the shortest 1.5 seconds. If you stop the vehicle with the wiper switch in the "LO" position, the wiper speed automatically changes from low speed to intermittent operation speed.* This function does not work when the interval adjuster is in the "F" position. NOTE: *This feature can be set inoperative. Ask your Lexus dealer for details. For mist wiper operation (a single wipe), pull the lever toward you and release it. To make the washer squirt, push the button on the end of the lever. If the wiper lever is in the "OFF" position, the wipers will automatically operate a couple of times and a few seconds later, make a single wipe again to sweep the windshield completely.* The last sweep does not happen if the vehicle speed exceeds about 170 km/h (106 mph). NOTE: *The last single wipe can be set inoperative. 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 nearly empty. For information on adding washer fluid, see "Adding washer fluid" on page 371. 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 operate the wipers if the windshield is dry. It may scratch the glass. 37
