lights can be adjusted.
WARNING
■The information display at low tem-
peratures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm
up before using the liquid crystal infor-
mation display. At extremely low tem-
peratures, the in formation display
monitor may respond slowly, and display
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the
driver’s shifting and the new gear number
appearing on the display. This lag could
cause the driver to downshift again,
causing rapid and excessive engine brak-
ing and possibly an accident resulting in
death or injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and
its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the
tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating if the
engine coolant temperature gauge is
in the red zone (H). In this case, imme-
diately stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and check the engine after it has
cooled completely. ( P.377)

adjusted to the highest level, the mode can-
not be switched.)
■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-
sensing windshield wipers)
●The raindrop sensor judges the amount
of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may not
operate properly when sunlight from the
rising or setting of the sun intermittently
strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are
present on the windshield.
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO position
while the engine switch is in IGNITION
ON mode, the wipers will operate once
to show that AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sensor
is 185°F (85°C) or higher, or -22°F (-
30°C) or lower, automatic operation
may not occur. In this case, operate the
wipers in any mode other than AUTO.
■Front door opening linked windshield
wiper stop function (vehicles with rain-
sensing windshield wipers)
When AUTO is selected and the wind-
shield wipers are operatin g, if a front door is
opened while the vehicle is stopped and the
P position is selected, operation of the
windshield wipers w ill be stopped to pre-
vent anyone near the vehicle from being
sprayed by water from the wipers. When
the front door is closed, wiper operation will
resume.
■To protect the windshield wipers
If movement of the windshield wipers is
largely restricted by a foreign object such as
snow, the operation of the windshield wip-
ers may be stopped automatically to pro-
tect the windshield wipe rs. In this case, turn
the windshield wiper switch off and remove
the foreign object, and then use the wind- shield wipers.
■When stopping the engine in an emer-
gency while driving
If the windshield wipe rs are operating when
the engine is stopped, the windshield wipers
will operate in high speed operation. After
the vehicle is stopped, operation will return
to normal when the engine switch is turned
to IGNITION ON mode, or operation will
stop when the driver’s door is opened.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of wind-
shield wipers in AUTO mode (vehi-
cles with rain-sensing windshield
wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate
unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or
the windshield is subj ect to vibration in
AUTO mode. Take care that your fingers
or anything else do not become caught
in the windshield wipers.
■Caution regarding the use of washer
fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer
fluid 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 there is no washer fluid spray
from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump may
be caused if the lever is pulled toward
you and held continually.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact your Lexus dealer.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other
object. The nozzle will be damaged.
