KEYS AND DOORS
26The doors cannot be locked using the smart key system
in the following conditions:
11L233a

Key reminder alarm
If you push the lock button on the outside door handle
with a smart key left in the vehicle, an alarm sounds for 2
seconds and the doors will not lock.
Before you push the lock button, make sure you are carrying
the smart key.
INFORMATION
 Do not put a smart key on the instrument panel, rear
package tray or floor, or in the glove box or auxiliary
box near the selector lever, which falls outside of the
effective range of the smart key system. As the alarm
does not sound when a key is left in such a place, you
might accidentally lock the doors by pushing the lock
button on the outside door handle and be locked out
of the vehicle. Be sure to take the smart key with you.
 If you have the smart key but bring it very close to the
window or outside door handle, the alarm might
activate. In this case, keep the smart key a certain
distance away from the window or outside door
handle and then push the lock button again.
 If the smart key is left in the vehicle, attempting to
lock the door by pushing in the button located in the
inside door handle and holding up the outside door
handle will unlock all the doors and activate the alarm
for 2 seconds.

 1U.S.A. 2Canada
To turn the lights on, twist the knob on the end of the lever.
FIRST CLICKST OP: Only the parking, tail, license plate, side
marker and instrument panel lights turn on.
SECOND CLICKSTOP: Headlights also turn on.
THIRD CLICKSTOP (“AUTO”): The headlights and all other
lights automatically turn on depending on the darkness of the
surroundings.*
NOTE:
* The operating condition or sensitivity can be changed.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details. Vehicles sold in U.S.A.: When the headlights are on, the
headlight indicator lights up in the instrument cluster.
Vehicles sold in Canada:
When the tail lights are on, the tail
light indicator lights up in the instrument cluster.
With the knob in the “AUTO” position, there may be a case
that the headlights do not turn on immediately, even when
the vehicle enters a dark place such as a tunnel or parking
lot according to lighting conditions. In this case, we
recommend you to twist the knob manually to the second
clickstop to turn on the headlights immediately.
When the headlight switch is turned to the first or second
clickstop, the brightness of the instrument cluster will be
reduced slightly unless the instrument panel light control knob
is turned fully on.
However, the brightness of the instrument cluster will not be
reduced in daytime even when the headlight switch is turned
to first or second clickstop.

The automatic light control sensor is on the top center of the
instrument panel.
Do not place anything on the instrument panel, and/or do not
affix anything on the windshield to block this sensor.
When you turn on the headlights, the lights automatically turn
off about 30 seconds after any of the doors is opened and
closed with the ignition switch turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK”\
position.* To turn them on again, turn the ignition switch to the
“ON” position, or turn the headlight switch off and then twist the
knob until the first or second clickstop. If you are going to park
for over one week, make sure the headlight switch is off.
When the headlight switch is on with all the doors locked and
the trunk closed, pushing the “LOCK” button on the wireless
remote control key turns off the headlights.
NOTE:
* The time before turning off the lights can be changed.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details. Daytime Running Light System
The headlights turn on at reduced intensity when the parking
brake is released with the engine started, even with the light
switch in the “OFF” position. They will not go off until the
ignition switch is turned off.
To turn on the other exterior lights and instrument panel lights,
twist the knob to the first clickstop.
Twist
the knob to the second clickstop to turn on the headlights
to full intensity for driving at night.
When setting the knob to the third clickstop (“AUTO”), the
headlights will automatic ally adjust to full intensity and/or turn
on the other lights depending on the darkness of the
surroundings. Likewise, as the surroundings become brighter,
the headlights will turn to reduced intensity, ultimately turning
off the other lights.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the lights on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.
