off about 30 seconds after any of the doors is opened and
closed with the ignition switch turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK”\
position.* To
turn them on again, turn the ignition switch to the
“ON” position, or turn the headlight switch off and then twist the

for over one week, make sure the headlight switch is off.
When the headlight switch is on with all the side doors and
back door locked, pushing the “LOCK” button on the wireless
remote control key turns off the headlights.

changed. Ask your Lexus dealer for details. Daytime Running Light System
The headlights turn on at reduced intensity when the parking

ignition switch is turned off.
To turn on the other exterior lights and instrument panel lights,
twist the knob to the first clickstop.

to full intensity for driving at night.
When setting the knob to the third clickstop (“AUTO”), the

on the other lights depending on the darkness of the
surroundings. Likewise, as the surroundings become brighter,
the headlights will turn to reduced intensity, ultimately turning
off the other lights.

To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the lights on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.
