33 Twist the interval adjuster upward to increase the wiping
time interval between sweeps, and downward to decrease
it.
The wiper lever must be in the INTº position.
The time interval between sweeps is shortened when the
vehicle speed increases. When the vehicle speed reaches
more than about 20 km/h (12 mph) with the interval adjuster in
the full upward position, the time interval becomes the shortest
1.5 seconds.
If you stop the vehicle with the wiper switch in the LOº position,
the wiper speed automatically changes from low speed to
intermittent operation speed.* This function does not work
when the interval adjuster is in the full upward position.
NOTE:
* This feature can be deactivated.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details.
To make the washer squirt, pull the lever toward you and
release it.
If the wiper lever is in the OFFº 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:
* The last single wipe can be deactivated.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details.
The low washer fluid warning light in the instrument cluster
comes on when the fluid level in the tank becomes nearly
empty. For information on adding washer fluid, see Adding
washer fluidº on page 572.
In cold weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before
using the washer. This will help prevent icing, which could
block your vision.
