SWITCHES
31
The automatic light control sensor is on top of the driver’s side
instrument panel.
Do not place anything on the instrument panel, and/or do not
affix anything on the windshield to block this sensor.
When the headlights are on, they automatically turn off about
30 seconds after any side door is opened and closed with the
ignition key turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.* If you
want to turn off the lights immediately, push the “LOCK” button
on the wireless remote control key twice. The lights also can
be turned off immediately by pushing the “LOCK” button on the
wireless remote control key with all the doors locked.
NOTE:
* The time before turning off the lights can be changed.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details. If any of the side door is kept opened, the lights automatically
turn off after 30 minutes.
When the headlight switch is on with all the doors locked,
pushing
the “LOCK” button on the wireless remote control key
turns off the headlights.
If you are going to park for over one week, make sure the
headlight switch is off.
Daytime Running Light System
The daytime running light system make your front turn signal
lights turn on when the parking brake is released with the
engine sta rted and the headlights are turned off. They will not
go off until the ignition switch is turned off.

leave the lights on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.

(a) Brake System Warning Light and Buzzer
This light comes on in the following cases when the ignition key
is in the “ON” position.
 When the parking brake is applied...
This light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition key is
in the “ON” position even after the parking brake is released.
 When the brake fluid level is low...
CAUTION
It is dangerous to continue driving normally when the
brake fluid level is low.
When the hydraulic brake booster fails...
If the hydraulic booster causes a problem resulting in poor
braking performance, the warning light comes on and buzzer
sounds continuously.
Have your vehicle checked at your Lexus dealer in the
following cases:
 The light does not come on even if the parking brake is
applied when the ignition key is in the “ON” position.
 The light does not come on even if the ignition key is turned
on with the parking brake released.
A warning light turning on briefly during operation does not
indicate a problem.

GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS

CAUTION
If any of the following conditions occurs, immediately
stop your vehicle at a safe place and contact your Lexus
dealer.
 The light does not turn off even after the parking
brake is released while the engine is running.
 The warning buzzer comes on together with the
warning light.
In either case, this can indicate that the brakes may not
work properly and your stopping distance will become
longer. Depress the brake pedal firmly and bring the
vehicle to an immediate stop.
 The brake system warning light remains on together
with the “ABS” warning light.
In this case, not only the antilock brake system will fail,
but also the vehicle will become extremely unstable
during braking.
Any of the following conditions may occur, but do not
indicate the malfunction:
 The light may stay on for about 60 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position. It is normal if it turns off
after a while.
 Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may turn on the
warning light and buzzer. It is normal if the light turns off and
the buzzer stops sounding after a few seconds.
 You may hear a small sound in the engine compartment
after the engine is started or the brake pedal is depressed
repeatedly. This is a pump pulsating sound of the brake
system, and it is not a malfunction.
(b) Driver’s Seat Belt Reminder Light and Buzzer
The light and buzzer act as a reminder to buckle up the driver’s
seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to “ON” or “START”, the
reminder light flashes and buzzer sounds if the driver’s seat
belt is not fastened. Unless the driver fastens the belt, the light
continues flashing and the buzzer stops after about 4 to 8
seconds.

GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
57
(f) “ABS” Warning Light
The light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
position. If the anti−lock brake system and the brake assist
system work properly, the light turns off after a few seconds.
Thereafter, if either of the systems malfunctions, the light
comes on again.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and the brake system
warning light is off), the following systems do not operate, but
the brake system still operates conventionally.
 Anti− lock brake system
 Brake assist system
 Active traction control system
 Vehicle stability control system
 Downhill assist control system
 Hill −start assist control
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and the brake system
warning light is off), the anti −lock brake system does not
operate, so that the wheels will lock up during a sudden braking
or braking on slippery road surfaces. If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates
a malfunction somewhere in the components monitored
by the warning light system. Contact your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible to service the vehicle.

The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned
to the “ON” position, or remains on.
 The light comes on while you are driving.
A warning light turning on briefly during operation does not
indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If the “ABS” warning light remains on together with the
brake system warning light, immediately stop your
vehicle at a safe place and contact your Lexus dealer.
In this case, not only the antilock brake system will fail
but also the vehicle will become extremely unstable
during braking.
Either of the following conditions may occur, but do not
indicate a malfunction:
 The light may stay on for about 60 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position. It is normal if it turns off
after a while.
 Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may turn on the
light. It is normal if it turns off after a few seconds.

following.
Vehicle stability control system
 Active traction control system
 Downhill assist control system
 Hill −start assist control
The light will come on when the ignition key turned to “ON”, and
will go off after a few seconds.
It is not a malfunction that the warning light may stay on for 60
seconds after the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may turn on the lights.
It is normal if they go out after a few seconds.
If the light comes on while driving, the above mentioned
systems do not work. However, as conventional braking
operates when applied, there is no problem to continue your
driving.
In the following cases, contact your Lexus dealer:
 The warning light does not come on after the ignition key is
turned to “ON”.
 The warning light remains on after the ignition key is turned
to “ON”.
 The warning light comes on while driving.
When the brake fluid level is too low, the above −mentioned
systems will not operate and the warning light come on.
(k) “KDSS” Warning Light (vehicles with kinetic dynamic suspension system)
This light warns that there is a problem somewhere in the
kinetic dynamic suspension system.
The light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the
“ON” position and will go off after a few seconds.
If the light comes on while driving, bring your vehicle to your
Lexus dealer as soon as possible and have it checked.
(l) Charging System Warning Light
This warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned
to the “ON” position, and goes off when the engine is started.
When there are problems in the charging system while the
engine is running, the warning light comes on.
