position. The fog lights come on only when the headlights
are on low beam.
Fog light indicator light in the instrument cluster will tell you that
the fog lights are on.
WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHERSWITCH
Intermittent operation type
 1Interval adjuster 2Washer on
To turn the wipers on, move the lever down until you reach

The ignition key must be in the “ON” position.
There are 3 settings:

SWITCHES
35
Twist the interval adjuster upward to increase the wiping
time
interval between sweeps, and downward to decrease
it.
The wiper lever must be in the “INT” position.
To make the washer squirt, pull the lever toward you and
release it.
Also, the wipers will automatically operate a couple of times
after the washer squirts even with the lever in the “OFF”
position.
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 348.
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.
When waxing your vehicle, make sure that the washer nozzles
do not become blocked. If a nozzle becomes blocked, contact
your Lexus dealer to have the vehicle serviced.
NOTICE
If a nozzle becomes blocked, do not try to clear it with
a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

SWITCHES
36
Raindrop detection type
 1Automatic control adjuster 2Washer on
To turn the wipers on, move the lever down until you reach
the desired speed setting.
The ignition switch must be in the “ON” position.
There are 3 settings:
“AUTO” position: Automatic operation
“LO” position: Low speed operation
“HI” position: High speed operation Automatic operation
The wiper speed is determined by the amount of raindrops
and sunlight detected by the automatic wiper control
sensor.
Twist the automatic control adjuster in the “–” direction to
lower the sensitivity, and the “+” direction to boost the
sensitivity.
The sensor is on the inside of the windshield as shown above.
Even if the wiper lever is in the “AUTO”
position, the system will
switch to intermittent operations in the following conditions:
 When the windshield gets extremely cold (at less than
–10 C or 14 F)
 When the system malfunctions
However, when the windshield gets extremely hot (at more
than 90C or 194F), the wipers do not operate even if the
wiper lever is in the “AUTO” position.
