KEYS AND DOORS
21
The doors cannot be locked using the entry function in the
following conditions:
G11029

Key reminder alarm
If you push the lock button on the outside door handle
with an electronic key left in the vehicle, an alarm sounds
for 2 seconds and the doors will not lock.
Before you push the lock button, make sure you are carrying
the electronic key.
INFORMATION
 Do not put an electronic key on the instrument panel,
rear package tray or floor, or in the glove box or
auxiliary box near the selector lever, which falls
outside of the effective range of the entry function.
As the alarm does not sound when a key is left in such
a place, you might accidentally lock the doors by
pushing the lock button on the outside door handle
and be locked out of the vehicle. Be sure to take the
electronic key with you.
 If you have the electronic key but bring it very close
to the window or outside door handle, the alarm
might activate. In this case, keep the electronic key
a certain distance away from the window or outside
door handle and then push the lock button again.
 If the electronic key is left in the vehicle, attempting
to lock the door by pushing in the lock button located
in the inside door handle and closing the door will
unlock all the doors and activate the alarm for 2
seconds.

NOTICE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit differ-
ent from that to which the receiver is connected.

KEYS AND DOORS
37
If a wrong key is used, the key cylinder rotates freely to isolate
inside
mechanism. So, door locking is protected from thieves.
The windows and moon roof can be opened and closed from
outside the vehicle using a mechanical key. For details, see
“Power window switches” on page 59 and “Moon roof” on page
136.

CAUTION
Be careful not to get your fingers caught between the
wipers and windshield.
When the wiper lever is in the “AUTO” position with the
engine switch on, the wipers could operate
automatically in the following cases:
 If you touch the upper center of the windshield
adjacent to the sensor.
 If you wipe the upper center of the windshield
(adjacent to which the sensor is located) with a towel.
 If the windshield vibrates.
 If you touch the sensor.
For mist wiper operations (a single wipe), pull the lever up
and release it.
To make the washer squirt, pull the lever toward you and
release it.
If the wiper lever is in the “OFF” position, the wipers will
automatically make 3 wipes and then a single wipe later to
sweep the windshield completely.* The interval between the
3 wipes and the last wipe will depend on the vehicle speed.
The last sweep does not happen if the vehicle speed exceeds
about 170 km/h (106 mph).
NOTE:
*This function can be changed as follows: The time before the last single wipe can be set for
about 3 seconds.
 The last single wipe can be deactivated.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details.
The warning message “LOW WASHER FLUID” is displayed in
the multi−information display when the fluid level in the tank
becomes very low. For information on adding washer fluid, see
“Adding washer fluid” on page 589.
When the headlights are on and the washers are activated by
pushing the windshield washer switch, the headlight cleaner
operates once automatically.
In cold weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before
using the washer. This will help prevent icing, which could
block your vision.
The rear window and outside rear view mirror defogger
automatically turns on when you operate the wipers.
