The automatic light control sensor is on top of the driver’s side
instrument panel.
Do not place anything on the instrument panel, and/or do not
affix anything on the windshield to block this sensor.
When the headlights are on, they automatically turn off about
30 seconds after any side door is opened and closed with the
ignition key turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.* If you
want to turn off the lights immediately, push the “LOCK” button
on the wireless remote control key twice. The lights also can
be turned off immediately by pushing the “LOCK” button on the
wireless remote control key with all the doors locked.
NOTE:
* The time before turning off the lights can be changed.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details. If any of the side door is kept opened, the lights automatically
turn off after 30 minutes.

pushing
the “LOCK” button on the wireless remote control key
turns off the headlights.
If you are going to park for over one week, make sure the
headlight switch is off.

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 “ON” 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.

The wiper speed is determined by the amount of raindrops
and sunlight detected by the automatic wiper control
sensor.
Twist
the automatic control adjuster in the “–” direction to
lower the sensitivity, and the “+” direction to boost the
sensitivity.
The sensor is on the inside of the windshield as shown above. Even if the wiper lever is in the
“AUTO” position, the system will
switch to variable intermittent operations in the following
conditions:
 When the windshield gets extremely cold (at less than
–10 C or 14 F)
 When the system malfunctions
However, when the windshield gets extremely hot (at more
than 90C or 194F), the wipers do not operate even if the
wiper lever is in the “AUTO” position.
When the ignition switch is turned off with the wiper lever in the
“AUTO” position, and then the ignition switch is turned on
again, the automatic operation may not work even if raindrops
are on the windshield.
In this case, move the lever to another position and return it to
the “AUTO” position again.
If you stop the vehicle with the wiper switch in the “LO” position,
the wiper speed automatically changes from low speed to
intermittent operation speed.* This function does not work
when the automatic control adjuster is in the “+” position.
NOTE:
* This feature can be deactivated.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details.
