When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■
Daytime running light system ●
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the parking lights turn on
automatically (at an increased intensity) whenever the engine is started and the
parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at
night. ●
Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system offers
greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve fuel
economy.■
Headlight control sensor
■
Automatic light off system ●
When the headlights are on: The headlight s and tail lights turn off 30 seconds
after a door is opened and closed if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch has
been switched to ACCESSORY or OFF mode. ●
When only the tail lights are on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch is sw itched to ACCESSORY or OFF mode
and driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn th e “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION
ON mode, or turn the light switch off once and then back to the
or
position. 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.

2262-3. Operating the lights and wipers
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■
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.
Type A
With selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to intermit-
tent wiper operation only when the vehicle is stationary. (However, when the sen-
sor sensitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the mode cannot be switched.)
Type B
With selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to intermit-
tent wiper operation only when the vehicle is stationary. (However, when the sen-
sor sensitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the mode cannot be switched.) ■
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.
CAUTION■
Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the
windshield is subject to vibration in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your fingers etc.
anything else does not become ca ught in the windshield wipers.■
Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes warm. The
fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This may lead to an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious injury.
