LEXUS NIGHT VIEW SYSTEM
31X521
The Lexus night view system can help you see forward
when driving at night. If pedestrians or objects are
detected within the area reaching the tip of the low beam
to high beam, they are displayed along with the layout of
the road in the windshield as a monochrome image.
CAUTION
 This system should be used as a supplemental aid to
help you see objects. Never depend on this system
only. Be sure to view objects with your own eyes
while driving.
 This system is designed to help you see objects
better when driving in a flat area with few curves in
darkness. Use of this function in an area with many
curves or slopes or in a welllit area could cause an
accident.

Good Blown
If the headlights or other electrical components do not
work and the blade type fuses are O.K., check the
cartridge type fuses. If any of the cartridge type fuses are
blown, they must be replaced.
If there is an overload in the circuits from the battery, the fuses
are designed to blow before the entire wiring harness is
damaged.
NOTICE
Before replacing the fuses, have the cause of electrical
overload determined and repaired by your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
Always use a genuine Lexus fuse or equivalent for
replacement. Never install an ordinary wire even for
a temporary fix. This may cause extensive damage and
possibly a fire.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

The inside of the lens of exterior lights such as headlights may
temporarily
fog up when the lens becomes wet in the rain or in
a car wash. This is not a pr oblem because the fogging is
caused by the temperature dif ference between the outside and
inside of the lens, just like the windshield fogs up in the rain.
However, if there is a large drop of water on the inside of the
lens, or if there is water pooled inside the light, contact your
Lexus dealer. LIGHT LOCATION
