SWITCHES

Automatic headlight leveling system
The headlight beam level is always maintained automatically
at the proper level in all loading conditions so that your
headlights do not dazzle other road users.
If the system fails, the “AFS OFF” indicator light in the
instrument cluster will flash. If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by your Lexus dealer.
Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) provides the proper
headlight beam level according to the current driving
conditions. This system moves the headlight beam left or right
according to the turning angle of the steering wheel. The
synergy of this system and the automatic headlight leveling
system improves visibility at the intersections and curves.
The system operates when the vehicle speed increases above
10 km/h (6 mph), and stops when the vehicle speed drops
below 10 km/h (6 mph).
The system can operate within the limited range of the steering
wheel turning angle.
12L179
 1 Adaptive Front Lighting System cancel switch
2Inoperative
3Operative
If you do not want to activate the system, push in the
switch to cancel the system. To turn it on, push it again.
When the system is canceled, the “AFS OFF” indicator lights
up in the instrument cluster.
If the system fails, the indicator light in the instrument cluster
will flash. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by your
Lexus dealer.

SWITCHES
57
HEADLIGHT DIMMER AND TURNSIGNAL SWITCH
12L164
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.
12L165
For signaling turns, move the lever up or down in the
conventional manner.
The ignition switch must be in the “ON” 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.

SWITCHES
58
FOG LIGHT SWITCH
12L166
To turn on the fog lights, twist the band of the headlight
lever to the “ON” position. 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.
WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHERSWITCH
Variable intermittent wipers
12L246
 1Interval adjuster 2Washer on
To turn the wipers on, move the lever down until you reach
the desired speed setting.
The ignition switch must be in the “ON” position.
There are 3 settings:
“INT” position: Intermittent operation
“LO” position: Low speed operation
“HI” position: High speed operation
Twist the interval adjuster upward to increase the wiping
time interval between sweeps, and downward to decrease
it.

AUDIO
291
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. Caring for your CD player and CDs

Your CD player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) CDs
only.
 Extremely high temperature can keep your CD player from
working. On hot days, use air conditioning to cool the
vehicle interior before you listen to a CD.
 Bumpy roads or other vibrations may make your CD player
skip.
 If moisture gets into your CD player, you may not hear any
sound even though your CD player appears to be working.
Eject all CDs from the player and wait until the player dries.
CAUTION
CD players use an invisible laser beam which could
cause hazardous radiation exposure if directed outside
the unit. Be sure to operate the player correctly.

STARTING AND DRIVING
325

The area covered by the camera is limited. Objects
which are close to either corner of the bumper or under
the bumper cannot be seen on the screen.
 The area displayed on the screen may vary according
to vehicle orientation or road conditions. REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM CAMERA
31L352
The rear view monitor system camera is located on the trunk
as shown in the illustration. The camera uses a special lens.
The distance of the image that appears on the screen differs
from the actual distance.
In the following cases, it may become difficult to see the images
on the screen, even when the system is functioning.

In the dark (for example, at night)
 When the temperature near the lens is extremely high or low
 When water droplets are adhering to the camera, or when
humidity is high (for example, when it rains)
 When foreign matter (for example, snow or mud) adheres
to the camera lens
 When the sun or the beam of headlights is shining directly
into the camera lens

CHECKING BATTERY CONDITION
Precautions
CAUTION
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
The battery produces flammable and explosive
hydrogen gas.
Do not cause a spark by contacting the battery
terminals with tools.
 Do not smoke or light a match near the battery.
The electrolyte contains poisonous and corrosive
sulfuric acid.
 Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothes.
 Never inhale or swallow electrolyte.
 Wear protective safety glasses when working near
the battery.
 Keep children away from the battery.
EMERGENCY MEASURES
 If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush your eyes with
clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention. If possible, continue to apply
water with a sponge or cloth while traveling to the
medical office.

NOTICE
Only use a bulb of the listed type.
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
