the vehicle height changes, contact your
Toyota dealer to check the automatic
headlight leveling system and headlight
beam level.
High Low beams—For high beams, turn
the headlights on and push the lever away
from you (position 1). Pull the lever to-
ward you (position 2) for low beams.
The headlight high beam indicator light
(blue light) on the instrument panel will
tell you that the high beams are on.
Flashing the high beam headlights
(position 3)—Pull the lever all the way
back. The high beam headlights turn off
when you release the lever.
You can flash the high beam headlights
even when the headlight switch is off.TURN SIGNALS

turn signal lever up or down to position
1.
The ignition switch must be set at ON.
The lever automatically returns after you
make a turn, but you may have to return
it by hand after you change lanes.
To signal a lane change, move the lever
up or down to the pressure point (position
2) and hold it.
If the turn signal indicator lights (green
lights) on the instrument panel flash faster
than normal, a front or rear turn signal
bulb is burned out. See “Replacing light
bulbs” on page 369 in Section 7 −3.

Vehicles with discharge headlights—
Do not touch the high voltage sock-
et 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, connec-
tor, power supply circuits and ro-
tated components. Or you may be
injured by electric shocks. Call your
dealer when the headlights fail to
work or have to be replaced or dis-
posed 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 fogs 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
Toyota dealer.Light bulbsBulb
