wiper blades to summer position.
At first I was a little apprehensive to pull the blades down to the summer position because it felt like they wouldnt budge. So I took the driver side wiper blade and pushed it down from the end of the blade and both of them moved down at the same time with little pressure. If you do this make sure you grab the blades more towards the end not towards the base. Also pressing the lock button on your fob does turn out your lights if you have them on auto. its all about the timing when you preform this function. Pretty cool stuff I would have never knew about my GS400, thanks to the group for this cool thread!

Pressing the lock button twice should turn off the light if it's in auto mode. I learned this when I bought a RX300 six years ago. It works on my GS430, as well as my Dad's '99 ES300.

I am confused about wich blade to push down for summer mode?

SeattleGS400 says "When you push it down, push it at close to the end of the strong wiper arm (i.e. don't push at the flimsy wiper blade)--if doing it by yourself, push at the driver's side wiper arm" post# 59.
what are your experiences with this hidden feature ? Thanks

1. Hold the unlock button down for more than 5 seconds and it opens up all the windows and sunroof. This can also be accomplished by putting the key in the keylock and turning the key to the right and holding it there for about 5 seconds.tooopen all windows and left to close all windows and sunroof.
Mine puts all the windows down but the sunroof doesn't move
Any ideas??Jonny
