■The Adaptive High-beam System can be operated when
The power switch is in 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.

LS600h/LS600hL_EE(OM50G20E)
●In the situations below, the system may not be able to correctly detect the sur-
rounding brightness levels, and may flash or expose oncoming or preceding vehi-
cles to the high beam or may continue using the low beam. Therefore, in these
situations you should consider turning the high beams on or off manually rather
than relying on the Adaptive High-beam System.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The inside rear view mirror or camera sensor is deformed or dirty.
• The camera sensor temperature is extremely high.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail lights or fog
lights.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights that are either switched off, dirty, are changing
color, or have are not aimed properly.
• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and dark-
ness.
• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads, or roads
with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved roads, gravel tracks
etc.).
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a winding road.
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or a mirror.
• The back of a vehicle ahead is highly reflective, such as a container on a truck.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc.
■Turning the high beam on during Adaptive High-beam System operation (vehicles
without near-infrared ray transmitters)
When the vehicle is traveling at a high speed, the system will turn on the inner high
beam together with the outer high beam.
■Customization
The variable shade beam can be turned off. (Customizable features P. 634)

CAUTION
■Limitations of the Adaptive High-beam System
Do not rely on the Adaptive High-beam System. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings and turn the high beam on or off manually if necessary.
NOTICE
■Notes when using the Adaptive High-beam System
●Do not touch the camera sensor.
●Do not subject the inside rear view mirror or the camera sensor to a strong
impact.
●Do not disassemble the camera sensor.
●Do not spill liquid onto the inside rear view mirror or the camera sensor.
●Do not apply window tinting or stickers to the camera sensor or the area of wind-
shield near the camera sensor.
●Do not place items on the dashboard. There is a possibility that the camera sensor
will mistake items reflected in the windshield for streetlights, the headlights of
other vehicles, etc.
●Do not install a parking tag or any other accessories near or around the inside
rear view mirror and the camera sensor.
●Do not overload the vehicle.
●Do not modify the vehicle.
●If the windshield needs to be replaced, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Observe the following to ensure that the
Adaptive High-beam System functions cor-
rectly.

CAUTION
■Handling the camera sensors (if equipped)
Observe the following to ensure that the PCS functions effectively:
●Keep the windshield clean at all times.
PCS effectiveness may be reduced due to the presence of raindrops, condensa-
tion, ice or snow on the windshield.
●Do not subject the camera sensor to a st rong impact or force, and do not disas-
semble the camera sensor.
●Do not change the installation position of the camera sensor, or remove and rein-
stall it. The direction of the camera sensor is precisely adjusted.
●When the windshield fogs up, use the wi ndshield defogger to dry the windshield.
During cold weather, using the heater with air blowing to the feet may allow the
upper part of the windshield to fog up, having a negative effect on the images.
●Do not place anything on the dashboard.
Images reflected on the windshield may reduce the effectiveness of the camera
sensor.
●Do not scratch the camera lens, or let it get dirty.
●Do not attach a sticker or other items to the windshield near the camera sensor.
■Headlights (vehicles with camera sensors)
●Observe the following to ensure proper near-infrared ray projection:
• Keep the headlights clean at all times.
• The detection performance may deteriorate if the high beams are misaligned
or inoperative.
●The near-infrared ray transmitters project strong energy that is not visible.
Although the transmitters normally turn off when the vehicle is stopped, never
look into the headlights for your safety.

■If the vehicle speed is less than approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) when the Lexus
night view is operating
An image will be displayed on the Lexus night view screen, but both the range and
the distance of the projection will be limited as near-infrared rays are not being radi-
ated outward.
■When the Lexus night view switch is pressed while the Lexus night view cannot be
operated
Advice information will be displayed on the Lexus night view screen. Follow the dis-
played advice.
■If the Lexus night view switch is pressed at a time when the Lexus night view opera-
tion is not possible
Follow the advice displayed on the Remote Touch screen.
