■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode (vehicles with rain-
sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the wind-
shield is subject to vibration in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your fingers etc. do not
become caught in the windshield wipers.
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fl uid until the windshield becomes warm. The
fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This may lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually as the washer fluid pump may overheat.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the wipers on longer than necessary when the hybrid system is off.

●The shift position is in D.
●Vehicle speed is above approximately 50 km/h (30 mph).
■Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate normally. After acceleration, the set speed resumes. How-
ever, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease
below the set speed in order to maintain the distance to the vehicle ahead.
■Set speed
The set speed may be unsustainable depending on driving circumstances.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control driving is automatically canceled in the following situ-
ations:
●Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
●VSC is activated.
●The sensor cannot operate correctly because it is covered in some way.
●The windshield wipers are operating at high speed (when the wiper switch is set to the
“AUTO” mode or the high speed wiper operation position).
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control drivin g is automatically canceled for any other rea-
son, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

●Vehicle speed falls below approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
●VSC is activated.
