SWITCHES
35
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.

SWITCHES
36For signaling
turns, move the lever up or down in the
conventional manner.
The ignition key must be in the ªONº 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.
FOG LIGHT SWITCH
12E005±1
To turn on the fog lights, turn the switch to the ªONº
position. The fog lights come on only when the
headlights are on low beam.WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER SWITCH

1Mark 2Acceptable range
2. Look at the beam angle gauge (horizontal
movement). The mark should not deviate by more than
one mark to either side of the gauge.
If the mark is out of the acceptable range of the gauge,
adjust it using bolt B.
After adjusting the headlight in the horizontal direction,
check that the light has been shifted from the adjusted
position in the vertical direction.
If the error is over the value specified above, take the
vehicle to your Lexus dealer to adjust the headlight aim.
REPLACING LIGHT BULBS
The illustration on the following pages show the
locations of light bulbs. If it is necessary to replace a
bulb, take your vehicle to your Lexus dealer as soon as
possible. Use bulbs with the bulb numbers and wattage
ratings given in the table.
CAUTION
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require
special handling. They can burst or shatter if scratched
or dropped. Hold a bulb only by its plastic or metal case.
Do not touch the glass part of a bulb with bare hands.
