The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
Even when the wipers are not in AUTO mode, vehicle speed affects the time until the drip prevention wiper sweep occurs. With low speed windshield wiper operation selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to intermittent wiper operation only when the vehicle is stationary. (However, when the sensor sensitivity is 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 switch 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.
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.
Front door opening linked windshield wiper stop function (vehicles with rain sensing windshield wipers)
When AUTO is selected and the wind-shield wipers are operating, if a front door is opened while the vehicle is stopped and the P position is selected, operation of the windshield wipers will 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 wipers may be stopped automatically to protect the windshield wipers. In this case, turn the windshield wiper switch off and remove the foreign object, and then use the windshield wipers.
When stopping the engine in an emergency while driving
If the windshield wipers 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 (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the windshield is subject 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.
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.
To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the wipers on longer than necessary when the engine is off.
Changing the windshield wiper rest position/Lifting the wind-shield wipers
When the windshield wipers are not being used, they retract to below the hood. To enable the windshield wipers to be lifted when parking in cold conditions or when replacing a windshield wiper insert, change the rest position of the windshield wipers to the service position using the wiper lever.
Raising the wipers to the service position
Within approximately 45 seconds of turning the engine switch off, move the wiper lever to the (U.S.A.) or (Canada) position and hold it for approximately 2 seconds or more. The wipers will move to the service position.
