■The Adaptive High-beam System can be operated when 
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■Camera sensor detection information
●High beam may not be automatically turned off or changed to variable shade beam 
in the following situations: 
• When oncoming vehicles suddenly appear from a curve 
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another
• When oncoming or preceding vehicles are hidden from sight due to repeated
curves, road dividers or roadside trees
●High beam may be turned off or variable shade beam may be changed to if an
oncoming vehicle that is using fog lights without using the headlights is detected.
●House lights, street lights, red traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs may
cause the high beam to turn off or variable shade beam to be changed to and may
change the area that is shielded.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn high beam on or
off, or the speed by which the shielded areas change: 
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of oncoming and preced- 
ing vehicles
• The movement and direction of oncoming and preceding vehicles
• When a oncoming or preceding vehicle only has operational lights on one side
• When a oncoming or preceding vehicle 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
●High beam and variable shade beam may be turned on or off when unexpected by
the driver.
●Small vehicles, such as bicycles, may not be detected.

3024-3. Operating the lights and wipers
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when 
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■Dripping prevention wiper sweep 
After washing and the wiper has operated several times, the wipers operate one 
more time after a short delay to prevent dripping. 
However, the last sweep will not happen  if the vehicle is traveling above 170 km/h 
(106 mph).
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation 
Even when the wipers are not in “AUTO” mode, vehicle speed affects the time until 
the drip prevention wiper sweep occurs. 
With low speed windshield wiper operation selected, wiper operation will be 
switched from low speed to intermittent wiper operation only when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
(However, when the sensor sensitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the mode can-
not be switched.)
■Raindrop sensor
●If the wiper is turned to “AUTO” mode while the engine switch is in IGNITION ON
mode, the wipers will operate once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 90 C (194F) or higher, or -15C 
(5 F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate the wip- 
ers in any mode other than “AUTO” mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays 
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the wind- 
shield washer fluid reservoir.
■Outside rear view mirror defogger activation linked to windshield wiper operation 
The outside rear view mirror defoggers automatically turn on when you operate the 
windshield wipers. 
The outside rear view mirror defoggers automatically turn off approximately 15 min-
utes after the wipers stop. 
For details about the outside rear view mirror defoggers:  P. 445
●The raindrop sensor judges the amount of 
raindrops. 
An optical sensor is adopted. It may not 
operate properly when sunlight from the
rising or setting of the sun intermittently
strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are
present on the windshield.
