If all the doors are closed and the ignition
switch is set at ACC, the ignition switch
light and interior light will fade out.
If all the doors are locked, all the lights
will fade out.
When the transmission selector lever is
placed out of the “P” position with the
ignition switch is set at ON, the exterior
foot lights will fade out.
To prevent the battery being discharged,
all of the lights will automatically turn off
the key removed (vehicles with key cylin-
der−type ignition switch) or the ignition is
turned off (vehicles with smart key sys-
tem), and the door is left opened for
about 20 minutes.
CENTER CONSOLE ILLUMINATION
The center console illumination comes on
when the ignition switch is set at ACC or
ON.
ILLUMINATIONS OF ENTRY FUNCTION
(vehicles with smart key system)
The interior light and exterior foot lights
come on and remain on for about 15 sec-
onds when you carry the registered key
into the entry function actuation area. For
further information of entry function actua-
tion area, see “Smart key system” on
page 27 in Section 1 −2.
To turn on the windshield wipers, move
the lever to the desired setting.
The ignition switch must be set at ON.
Lever position
Operation
Position 1Intermittent operation
Position 2Low speed operation
Position 3High speed operation
Position 4Single sweep operation
Position 5Washer on
Rotating the band on the lever lets you
adjust the wiper time interval when the
wiper lever is in the intermittent position
(position 1). Twist the band upward to
increase the time between sweeps, and
downward to decrease it.
When the lever is set to the intermittent
position (position 1), the wipers move ac-
cording to the vehicle speed. The higher
the vehicle speed is, the shorter the inter-
mittent time becomes.
When the lever is in the position 2, the
wipers operate at low speed while the
vehicle is moving and, when it stops, they
switch to intermittent operation. If the le-
ver is shifted “LO” position while the ve-
hicle is stopped, the wiper will begin to
work in intermittent operation after a cou-
ple of wipes at low speed.
This feature can be deactivated. For de-
tails, ask your Toyota dealer.
As soon as the vehicle starts to move,
the wiper will operate once to clear the
driver’s front view if it is set to “INT”.
