ADDING WASHER FLUID
If the washer tank becomes nearly empty, add washer
fluid.
You may use plain water as washer fluid. However, in cold
areas where temperatures range below the freezing point, use
washer fluid containing antifreeze. This product is available at
your Lexus dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions for how much to mix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute
because it may damage your vehicle’s paint.

Beam angle gauge
(horizontal movement for high beam)
2
Beam angle gauge
(vertical movement for high beam)
3
Beam angle gauge
(vertical movement for low beam)
4
Beam angle gauge
(horizontal movement for low beam)
Before checking the headlight aim:
1. Be sure that the body around the headlight is not deformed.
2. Park the vehicle on a level spot.
3. The driver gets into the driver’s seat and puts the vehicle in
a state readying for a driving (with a full tank).
4. Bounce the vehicle several times.

Bubble 2
Acceptable range
Vertical movement gauge: The bubble of the gauge should
not deviate from the center of the gauge by more than 2 marks
to either side of the gauge.
If the bubble is out of the acceptable range of the beam angle
gauge, adjust it using bolt A and B.

1. Turn the bolt A in either direction using a Phillips−head
screwdriver. At this time, keep the turning direction and
number of turns in mind.
G64024
2. Turn the bolt B the same number of turns and in the same
direction as step 1 using a Phillips−head screwdriver.
If you do not know or cannot find the original position, or if you
feel that there is a large deviation, take the vehicle to your
Lexus dealer to adjust the headlight aim.
After adjusting the headlight in the vertical direction, check that
the light has been shifted from the adjusted position in the
horizontal direction.

REPLACING LIGHT BULBS
The illustrations 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.
The tail lights, stop lights, high mounted stoplight and rear side
marker light consist of a number of LEDs. If any LED burns out,
we recommend you take your vehicle to your Lexus dealer to
have the light inspected as soon as possible.
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.
Do not touch the high voltage socket when the head-
lights turn 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
shock. 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 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
Lexus dealer.LIGHT LOCATION
