When driving
■Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on automati-
cally (at a reduced intensity) whenever the engine is started and the parking brake
is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
■Headlight control sensor
■Automatic light off system
The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 seconds after a door is opened or closed if
the ignition key has been turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” while the headlights are
turned on. (The lights turn off immediately if the LOCK button on the key is pressed
after all doors are locked.)
To turn the lights on again, turn the ignition key to the “ON” position, or turn the light
switch “OFF” once and then back to the or position.
■Customization
Settings (e.g. light sensor sensitivity) can be changed. ( P. 3 8 9 )
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not running.
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.

When driving
Windshield wipers and washer
■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The ignition key is in the “ON” position.
■Dripping prevention wiper sweep
After washing and wiping operation seve ral 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 106 mph
(170 km/h).
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation
With the settings other than “AUTO” also, the time until drip prevention wiper
sweep occurs is changed depending on vehicle speed.
With “LO” selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to intermit-
tent wiper operation only when the vehicle is stationary.
With “AUTO” selected, the wipers wi ll operate automatically when the
sensor detects falling rain. The system automatically adjusts wiper timing in

■Parking and stopping tips
●If you immediately stop the engine after off-road driving, or park the vehicle for
a long time, the vehicle height may gradually lower. When parking, make sure
there is nothing under the vehicle that may come in contact with the underbody.
The vehicle will return to the set height when the engine is started.
●The vehicle height may change as the temperature changes when the engine is
stopped. The vehicle will return to the set height when the engine is started.
■Propeller shaft noise
If the vehicle height is adjusted on a slop e, or with the selector lever in a position
other than “P” or “N” while the vehicle is stopped, you may hear a sound caused by
the expansion and contraction of the propel ler shaft. This does not indicate a mal-
function.
■Continued system operation
Even if the engine is stopped while the ve hicle height is being lowered, operation
will continue for up to 12 seconds.
■Active height control failure warning
●If a malfunction occurs in the AHC system, normal mode is automatically
selected.
The height control “ OFF” indicator will bl ink, and AHC cannot be activated until
the malfunction is corrected.

turns off, the system is operating correc tly. If the indicator light continues to
blink, have the vehicle checked at your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
●If the height control “OFF” indicator light does not come on when the ignition
switch is turned on, there is a malfunction in the AHC system. You can continue
normal driving, however have the vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer as soon
as possible.
