low beam lexus LS400 1996 Gauges, Meters and Service Reminders / 1996 LS400: SWITCHES

SWITCHES
17 Daytime Running Light System (Canada only)
The headlights turn on when the parking brake is released
with the engine started, even with the light switch in the
ªOFFº 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.
Under the daytime running light system, the headlights turn
on at reduced intensity. Twist the knob to the second
clickstop to turn to full intensity for driving at night.
When setting the knob to the third clickstop (ªAUTOº), the
headlights will automatically 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.
HEADLIGHT DIMMER AND TURN
SIGNAL SWITCH
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.

For signaling turns, move the lever up or down in the
conventional manner.
The ignition key must be in the ªONº position.
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
To turn on the fog lights, turn the switch to the ªONº
position. The fog lights come on only when the
headlights are on low beam.
