1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)
■Linked mirror function when reversing (vehicles with driving position memory)
The outside rear view mirrors will automa tically angle downwards when the vehicle
is reversing in order to give a better view of the ground. However, this function will
not operate when the mirror select switch is in the neutral position (between “L” and
“R”).
■Auto anti-glare function
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirr or is set to automatic mode, the outside
rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare inside rear view mir-
ror to reduce reflected light. ( P. 74 )
■Rain-clearing mirr ors (if equipped)
When water droplets collects on the mirror surface, for example when it rains, the
rain-clearing (hydrophilic) effect of the mirrors causes the droplets to be spread out
into a film making the rear view clearer. In the following cases, the rain-clearing
effect will be reduced temporarily, but wi ll return after 1 or 2 days' exposure to
direct sunlight.
●After wiping dirt off the mirrors
●When the mirrors fog up
●After waxing your vehicle in an automatic car wash
●After your vehicle has been parked for a long period in underground parking
lots, etc. where there is no direct sunlight.

■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with the rain-sensing windshield wipers)
●If the wiper switch is turned to “AUTO” position while the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode , the wiper will operate once to show
that auto mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 194 F (90 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”.
■Outside rear view mirror defogger activa tion linked to windshield wiper opera-
tion
The outside rear view mirror defogger au tomatically turns on when you operate the
windshield wipers.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the wind-
shield washer fluid reservoir.
■Customization that can be configured at Lexus dealer
Settings (e.g. drip prevention function) can be changed.
(Customizable features  P. 5 6 4 )
CAUTION
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the
windshield is subject to vibration in “AUT O” mode. Take care that your fingers or
anything else do not become caught in the windshield wipers.
●The sensor judges the amount of raindrops.
