When driving
AFS (vehicles with discharge headlights)
AFS (Adaptive Front Lighting System) improves visibility at intersections
and on curves by automatically adjusting the level of the headlights
according to vehicle speed and the degree of the tire angle that are con-
trolled by steering input.
Operates at speeds of 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher.
■Deactivating AFS
How to switch: P. 2 2 2
The indicator turns on when the AFS is deactivated.
■Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on automati-
cally (at a reduced intensity) whenever the engine is started and the parking brake
is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
■Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.

2-3. Operating the lights and windshield wipers
■Automatic light off system
●When the headlights comes on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 sec-
onds after a door is opened and closed if the engine switch has been switched
to ACC or turned OFF. (The light turns off immediately if the button on
the key is pressed after all doors are locked.)
●When only the tail lights come on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the
engine switch is switched to ACC or turned OFF and driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, switch to IG-ON mode, or turn the light switch OFF
once and then back to the or position.
■Automatic headlight leveling system (vehicles with discharge headlights)
The level of the headlights is automatically adjusted according to the number of
passengers and the loading condition of the vehicle to ensure that the headlights do
not interfere with other road users.
■If the indicator flashes... (vehicles with discharge headlights)
It may indicate a malfunction in the system. Contact your Lexus dealer.
■Customization
Settings (e.g. light sensor sensitivity) can be changed. (P. 406)
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not running.
