Automatic headlight leveling system
(Vehicles with discharge headlight only)
As the headlight beam level is always maintained
automatically at the proper level in all loading conditions,
your headlights do not dazzle other road users.
If this system fails, the multi information display shows
a message ºHEADLIGHT LEVELINGº. If this occurs,
have your vehicle checked by Lexus dealer.
