To turn the lights on, twist the knob on the end of the
lever.
FIRST CLICKSTOP: Only the parking, tail, license
plate, side marker and instrument panel lights turn on.
SECOND CLICKSTOP: Headlights also turn on.
THIRD CLICKSTOP (ºAUTOº): The headlights and all
other lights automatically turn on depending on the
darkness of the surroundings.*
Vehicles sold in U.S.A.: When the headlights are on,

Vehicles sold in Canada: When the tail lights are on,
the tail light indicator lights up in the instrument cluster.
Manually twist the knob to the second clickstop to
turn on the headlights if they are needed
immediately when entering a dark tunnel, parking
structure, etc. When
the headlight switch is turned to the first or second
clickstop, the brightness of the instrument cluster will be

knob is turned fully on.
NOTE: *The operating condition or sensitivity can be changed. Ask your Lexus dealer for details.

The automatic light control sensor is on top of the
driver's side instrument panel.
Do not place anything on the instrument panel, and/or do
not affix anything on the windshield to block this sensor.

SWITCHES
38When the headlights come on, the lights automatically
turn off about 30 seconds after any of the doors is
opened and closed with the ignition key turned to the
ºACCº or ºLOCKº position.* To turn them on again, turn
the ignition key to the ºONº 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 ºLOCKº 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 ºOFFº 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 (ºAUTOº),
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 be
come 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 necessarywhen the engine is not running.
Automatic headlight leveling system
(Vehicles with discharge headlight only)
As the headlight beam level is always maintained
automatically at the proper level in all loading conditions,
your headlights do not dazzle other road users.
If this system fails, the multi information display shows
a message ºHEADLIGHT LEVELINGº. If this occurs,
have your vehicle checked by Lexus dealer. See page
79 for additional information.

For high beam, push the lever forward. Pull it back
for low beam. For the headlight flasher, pull it

For signaling turns, move the lever up or down in the
conventional manner.
The ignition key must be in the ºONº 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.
