CAUTION
To reduce the chance of injury in case of an accident or
a sudden stop, keep the switch box closed when not in
use while driving.
HEADLIGHT DIMMER AND TURNSIGNAL SWITCHES
G12004
For high beam, push the lever forward. Pull it back for low
beam. For the headlight flasher, pull it further back.
A blue light in the instrument cluster indicates high beam or
headlight flasher is on.
The headlight flasher works even when the headlight switch is
off.

SWITCHES
48
G12005
For signaling turns, move the lever up or down in the
conventional manner.
The engine switch must be selected in “IG−ON” mode.
The turn signal is self −cancelling after a turn, but after a lane
change, you may have to cancel it by hand. You can also signal
a lane change by moving the turn signal lever partway and
holding it there.
If the green light in the instrument cluster flashes faster than
normal, it indicates that the front or rear turn signal bulb has
burned out. If this indicator light does not come on, the fuse
or the indicator light itself has probably failed.
FOG LIGHT SWITCH
G12006
To turn on the fog lights, twist the band of the headlight
lever to the fog light mark. They will come on only when
the headlights are on low beam.
When the fog lights are on, the indicator lights up in the
instrument cluster.

SWITCHES
60
Be sure to turn the engine switch to “OFF” mode
when you leave your vehicle.
 Never leave anyone (particularly a small child) alone
in your vehicle, especially when the engine switch is
on. Otherwise, he/she could use the power window
switches and get trapped in a window. Unattended
persons (particularly a small child) can be involved in
a serious accident.
 Never try jamming any part of your body to activate
the jam protection function intentionally.
 The jam protection function may not work if
something gets caught just before the window fully
closed.EMERGENCY FLASHER SWITCH
G12015
To turn on the emergency flashers, push the switch. To
turn them off, push the switch again.
All the turn signal lights will flash. The emergency flashers will
work with the engine running or off and with or without the
electronic key.
Turn on the emergency flashers to warn other drivers if you
must stop your vehicle where it might be a traffic hazard.
Always pull your vehicle as far off the road as possible.
The turn signal light switch will not work when the emergency
flashers are in operation.

AUDIO
285
G22010
Turn this knob to step up or down the frequency.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo reception when a
stereo broadcast is received. “ST” appears on the display. If
the signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the amount of
channel separation to prevent the weak signal from creating
noise. If the signal becomes extremely weak, the radio
switches from stereo to mono reception. In this case, “ST”
disappears from the display.(b) Presetting a station
G22004
1. Tune in the desired station.
2. Touch one of the station selector switches (16) and
hold it until a beep is heard. This sets the station to the
switch and the frequency appears on the switch.
Each switch can store AM, FM1 and FM2. To change the
preset station to a different one, follow the same procedure.
The preset station memory is cancelled when the power
source is interrupted by battery disconnection or a blown fuse.

When
problems occur with the XM tuner, a message will appear on the display. Referring to the table below to identify the problem,
take the suggested corrective action.

attached securely.
A short−circuit occurs in the antenna or the surrounding antenna cable. See a L\

ation. When a contact is

Audio system operating hints
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system operations:
Be careful not to spill beverages over the audio
system.
 Do not put anything other than a cassette tape or disc
into the cassette tape slot or disc slot.
 The use of a cellular phone inside or near the vehicle
may cause a noise from the speakers of the audio
system which you are listening to. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
Radio reception
FM broadcasts have a range of about 40 km or 25 miles. When
driving away from a station, you may have to fine −tune your
radio and turn up the volume as the station gets weaker.
Because FM uses a line −of− sight signal, tall buildings or hills
may sometimes block reception. These are all normal
characteristics of FM recept ion and do not indicate any
problem with the radio itself. Caring for your cassette player and tapes
For the best performance for your cassette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regularly.

A dirty tape head or tape path can decrease sound quality
and tangle your cassette tapes. The easiest way to clean
them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet type is
recommended.)
Use high− quality cassettes:
 Low −quality cassette tapes can cause many problems,
including poor sound, inconsistent playing speed, and
constant auto− reversing. They can also get stuck or
tangled in the cassette player.
 Do not use a cassette if it has been damaged or tangled or
if its label is peeling off.
 Do not leave a cassette in the player if you are not listening
to it, especially if it is hot outside.
 Store cassettes in their cases and out of direct sunlight.
 Avoid using cassettes with a total playing time longer than
100 minutes (50 minutes per side). The tape used in these
cassettes is thin and could get stuck or tangled in the
cassette player.

STARTING AND DRIVING
380When the steering sensor is malfunctioning
G31064
If the steering sensor cable is broken and signals cannot
be received, the vehicle symbol comes on and the
steering guide symbol and arrows flash.
If only the steering sensor is malfunctioning, the warning
appears only on the multi
−information display.
If this warning appears, have the sensor checked by your
Lexus dealer as soon as possible. When
the neutral point of the steering sensor is unknown
G31065
If the memorized neutral point of the steering is erased by
replacing the battery, the vehicle symbol, steering guide
symbol and arrows come on.
If only the neutral point of the steering sensor is unknown, the
warning appears only on the multi −information display.
If this warning appears, calibrate the neutral point of the
steering using either of the following:
 Turn the steering wheel either way fully and then in the
opposite direction fully and slowly, with the vehicle stopped.
 Drive on roads (with as few curves as possible and without
backing up) for more than about 5 minutes.
If this warning goes out, the calibration of the steering neutral
point is completed. If the warning still remains on, have the
sensor checked by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
