SWITCHES
40
HEADLIGHT DIMMER AND TURN
SIGNAL SWITCH
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.
For signaling turns, move the lever up or down in the
conventional manner.
The ignition key must be in the ONº 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.

If this light comes on when the headlight switch is turned on (at
the first or second clickstop), it indicates that one or more of the
tail lights are burned out.

stop lights are burned out.
Have defective bulbs replaced as soon as possible.

vehicle stability control system or traction control system.

and will go off after a few seconds.
If the light comes on while driving, the system does not work.
However, as conventional braking operates when applied,
there is no problem to continue your driving.

The warning light does not come on after the ignition key is
turned to ONº.
The warning light remains on after the ignition key is turned
to ONº.
The warning light comes on while driving.

On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank,
the low fuel level warning light may come on earlier than usual.

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
To prevent burning yourself, do not replace the light
bulbs while they are hot.
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.
Vehicles with discharge headlights Ð
Do not touch the high voltage socket when the
headlight turns on. 20000 V is momentarily
generated and may cause severe injury by electric
shock.
Do not disassemble, repair or take apart the headlight
bulbs, connector, power supply circuits and rotated
components. Or you may be injured by electric
shocks. Call your dealer when the headlights fail to
work or have to be replaced or disposed of.

NOTICE
Only use a bulb of the listed type.
The inside of the lens of exterior lights such as headlights may
temporarily fog up when the lens becomes wet in the rain or in
a car wash. This is not a problem because the fogging is
caused by the temperature difference between the outside and
inside of the lens, just like the windshield fogged up in the rain.
However, if there is a large drop of water on the inside of the
lens, or if there is water pooled inside the light, contact your
Lexus dealer.LIGHT LOCATION
