SWITCHES
35
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: *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 very low.
For information on adding washer fluid, see “Adding washer
fluid” on page 458.
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.
NOTICE
Do not operate the wipers if the windshield is dry. It may
scratch the glass.
When waxing your vehicle, make sure the washer nozzles do
not become blocked. If a nozzle becomes blocked, contact
your Lexus dealer to have the vehicle serviced.
NOTICE
If a nozzle becomes blocked, do not try to clear it with
a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

SWITCHES
38
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the rear window, be
careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires or
connectors.
 To prevent the battery from being discharged, turn
the switch off when the engine is not running.
OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
DEFOGGER SWITCH
12X500a
To turn the electric outside rear view mirror defogger on,
push the switch.
The ignition key must be in the “ON” position.
The thin heater wires on the heater panels in the outside rear
view mirrors will quickly clear the surface. Keep your hands off
the mirror faces when the switch is on. An indicator light will
illuminate to indicate the defogger is operating.
The system will automatically shut off when the defogger has
operated about 15 minutes.

SWITCHES
39
CAUTION
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot, do not touch them
when the switch is on.
If further defrosting or defogging is desired, simply actuate the
switch again. When the surface has cleared, push the switch
once again to turn the defogger off. Continuous use may cause
the battery to discharge, especially during stop− and−go
driving. The defogger is not designed to dry rain water or to
melt snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavily coated with ice, use
a spray de −icer before operating the switch.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, turn the
switch off when the engine is not running.
POWER WINDOW SWITCHES
12X006f

For driver’s window
2For front passenger’s window
3For left rear window
4For right rear window
To raise or lower the windows, use the switch on each
door. The passengers’ windows can also be controlled by
the switches on the driver’s door.
The power windows work when the ignition key is in the “ON”
position.
Retained accessory power: Even if the ignition key is turned
to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position with all the doors closed, t\
he
window can be operated until either of the front doors is
opened (or for about 45 seconds).
