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.
However, if the surroundings are bright and if the instrument
panel light control dial is not turned fully on, the instrument
panel lights do not come on.
SECOND CLICKSTOP: Headlights also turn on.
THIRD CLICKSTOP (“AUTO”): 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, the
headlight indicator lights up in the instrument cluster.
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
reduced slightly unless the instrument panel light control dial
is turned fully on.
NOTE: *The operating condition or sensitivity can be
changed. Ask your Lexus dealer for details.

When you turn on the headlights, the lights automatically turn
off about 30 seconds after any of the doors is opened and
closed with the ignition switch turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK”\
position.* To
turn them on again, turn the ignition switch to the
“ON” 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 side doors and
back door locked, pushing the “LOCK” 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 “OFF” 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 (“AUTO”), the
headlights will automatic ally 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 TURNSIGNAL SWITCH
12X002a
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.
12X003a
For signaling turns, move the lever up or down in the
conventional manner.
The ignition key 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.
