Automatic headlight leveling system
(Vehicles with discharge headlight only)
12E044
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 warning light in the instrument
cluster comes on. If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by Lexus dealer.HEADLIGHT DIMMER ANDTURN SIGNAL SWITCH
