With the dial in the DOOR position, the
light comes on when any door is opened.
After all the doors are closed, the light
remains on for about 15 seconds and then
goes out.
However, in the following cases, the light
goes out immediately:
All the doors are closed when the igni-
tion key is in “ACC” or “ON” position.
The ignition key is turned to “ACC” or
“ON” after all the doors are closed.
All the doors are locked when the light
is still on.
When any door is unlocked with the key
or wireless remote control transmitter, the
light comes on for 15 seconds, even if the
door is not opened.
To prevent the battery being discharged,
the lights will automatically turn off when
the key is removed and the door is left
opened with the dial in the DOOR position
for 20 minutes or more.

For a single sweep of the windshield,
push the lever up and release it. With interval adjuster: The “INT TIME”
band lets you adjust the wiping time inter-
val when the wiper lever is in the intermit-
tent position (position 1). Twist the band
upward to increase the time between
sweeps, and downward to decrease it.
To squirt washer fluid, pull the lever
toward you.

operate a couple of times after the washer
squirts.
For instructions on adding washer fluid,
see “Adding washer fluid” on page 225 in
Section 7 3.
In freezing weather, warm the windshield
with the defroster before using the washer.
This will help prevent the washer fluid
from freezing on your windshield, which
can block your vision.

shield is dry. It may scratch the
glass.
To defog or defrost the rear window,
push the switch.
The key must be in the “ON” position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the
rear window will quickly clear the sur-
faces. An indicator light will illuminate to
indicate the defogger is operating.
Push the switch once again to turn the
defogger off.
The system will automatically shut off af-
ter the defogger has operated about 15
minutes.

hicle to a Toyota dealer for service.

The inside of the lens of exterior lights
such as headlights may temporarily fog up
when the lens becomes wet in the rain or
in a car wash. This is not a problem
because the fogging is caused by the
temperature difference between the outside
and inside of the lens, just like the
windshield fogged up in the rain. However,
if there is a large drop of water on the
inside of the lens, or if there is water
pooled inside the light, contact your
Toyota dealer.Light bulbsBulb
