gers and the loading condition of the vehicle to ensure that the headlights do not inter-
fere with other road users.
■If the “AFS OFF” indicator flashes
It may indicate a malfunction in the system. Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything that
blocks the sensor is affixed to the windshield.

■Conditions in which the light distribution control of the headlights changes automati-
cally
●When all of the following conditions are met, the high beams will be turned on automat-
ically and the system will operate:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) or more.*
*: The area in the direction that the vehicle is turning will be illuminated more brightly
than other areas while driving on a curve.
●When all of the following conditions are met, the variable high beams will turn on and
the distance that the low beams are projecte d will be adjusted automatically, depending
on the location of vehicles ahead:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are vehicles ahead with headlights or tail lights turned on.
●If any of the following conditions is met, the high beams or variable high beams will be
changed to the low beams automatically:
• The vehicle speed is below approximately 60 km/h (37 mph).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• There are many vehicles ahead.
• Vehicles ahead are moving quickly and the high beams may blind the drivers of the other vehicles.
■Camera sensor detection information
●The high beams may not be automatically ch anged to the variable high beams in the
following situations:
• When vehicles ahead suddenly appear from a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another vehicle
• When vehicles ahead are hidden from sight due to repeated curves, road dividers or
roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear from the faraway lane on wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no lights
●The high beams may be changed to the variab le high beams if a vehicle ahead that is
using fog lights without its headlights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs may cause
the high beams to change to the variable high beams, cause the high beams not to
change to the variable high beams, or change the area that is not illuminated.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn the high beam on or
off, or the speed by which the areas not illuminated change:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has operational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient, curve, condition of the road surface etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of luggage

●In the situations shown below, the system may not be able to accurately detect sur-
rounding brightness levels. This may cause the low beams to remain on or the high
beams to cause problems for pedestrians, vehicles ahead or other parties. In these
cases, manually switch between the high and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt etc.

• Vehicles ahead have headlights that are either switched off, dirty, are changing color, or have are not aimed properly.
• The vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc. from a preceding vehicle.
• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and darkness.
• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads, or roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved roads, gravel tracks etc.).
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a winding road.
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or a mirror.
• The back of a vehicle ahead is highly reflective, such as a container on a truck.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc.
