CAUTION
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as ABS and the SRS airbag warning lights not
come on when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, this could mean that
these systems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could
result in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer
immediately if this occurs.
■ Warning lights
Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in the indicated
vehicle’s systems. ( P. 3 3 7 )
*: These lights turn on when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position
to indicate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off
after the engine is started, or after a few seconds. There may be a mal-
function in a system if the lights do not come on, or if the lights do not
turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

When driving
■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
■Automatic light off system
The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 seconds after a door is opened or closed if
the ignition key has been turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” while the headlights are
turned on. (The lights turn off immediately if the LOCK button on the key is pressed
after all doors are locked.)
To turn the lights on again, turn the ignition key to the “ON” position, or turn the light
switch “OFF” once and then back to the or position.
■Customization
Settings (e.g. light sensor sensitivity) can be changed. ( P. 3 8 9 )
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not running.
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.

Windshield wipers and washer
■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The ignition key is in the “ON” position.
■Dripping prevention wiper sweep
After washing and wiping operation seve ral times, the wipers operate one more
time after a short delay to prevent dripping.
However, the last sweep will not happen if the vehicle is traveling above 106 mph
(170 km/h).
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation
With the settings other than “AUTO” also, the time until drip prevention wiper
sweep occurs is changed depending on vehicle speed.
With “LO” selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to intermit-
tent wiper operation only when the vehicle is stationary.
With “AUTO” selected, the wipers wi ll operate automatically when the
sensor detects falling rain. The system automatically adjusts wiper timing in
accordance with rain volume and vehicle speed.
