ADDING WASHER FLUID
If the washer tank becomes nearly empty, add washer
fluid.
You may use plain water as washer fluid. However, in cold
areas where temperatures range below the freezing point, use
washer fluid containing antifreeze. This product is available at
your Lexus dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the
manufacture’s directions for how much to mix with water.
NOTICE:
Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute
because it may damage your vehicle’s paint.
