■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime
running lights turn on automatically whenev
er the engine is started and the parking
brake is released with the headlight switch off (type B only) or in the “AUTO” position.
(Illuminate brighter than the parking lights. ) Daytime running lights are not designed for
use at night.
For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.
●Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system offers greater
durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve fuel economy.
■Headlight control sensor
■Automatic light off system
●When only the tail lights are on: All lights turn off if the engine switch is turned to
ACCESSORY mode or turned of f and the driver’s door is opened.
●When the headlights are on: All lights turn off 30 seconds after a door or the glass
hatch is opened and closed.
To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode, or turn the
light switch off once and then back to or .
■Automatic headlight leveling system
The level of the headlights is automatically adjusted according to the number of passen-
gers and the loading condition of the vehicle to ensure that the headlights do not inter-
fere with other road users.
■If the automatic headlight leveling system warning light flashes
It may indicate a malfunction in the system. Contact your Lexus dealer.
■Welcome lighting
If the headlight switch is turned to AUTO an d the surrounding area is dark, unlocking the
doors using the smart access system with push-button start or wireless remote control
will turn the parking lights an d tail lights on automatically.
■Customization
Settings (e.g. light sensor sensitivity) can be changed.
(Customizable features: →P. 5 9 4 )
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything that
blocks the sensor is affixed to the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than ne
cessary when the engine is not running.

Driving
■Conditions in which the function may not operate correctly
In the following conditions, th e camera sensor may be unable to recognize lane markers
causing the lane departure warning function to operate incorrectly. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
●When driving through an area with no lane markers, such as a tollbooth, a crossing or
before a ticket checkpoint
●When driving on a sharp curve
●When lane markers are extremely narrow or extremely wide
●When the vehicle leans to one side an unusual amount due to a heavy load or improper
tire inflation pressure
●When the following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short
●When the lane markers are yellow (These ma y be more difficult for the system to rec-
ognize compared to white markers.)
●When the lane markers are broken, “Botts’ dots”, “Raised pavement marker” or stones
●When the lane markers are on a curb etc.
●When lane markers are obscured or partially obscured by sand, dirt, etc.
●When there are shadows on the road running parallel with lane markers, or if a shadow
covers the lane markers
●When driving on a particularly bright road surface, such as concrete
●When driving on a road surface that is bright due to reflected light
●When driving in a location where the light leve l changes rapidly, such as the entrance to
or exit from a tunnel
●When sunlight or the headlight s of oncoming vehicles are shining directly into the cam-
era lens
●When driving on roads that are branching or merging
●When driving on a road surface that is wet du e to rain, previous rainfall, standing water,
etc.
●When the vehicle experiences strong up-and-down motion such as when driving on an
extremely rough road or on a seam in the pavement
●When headlight brightness at nighttime is reduced due to dirt on the lenses, or when
the headlights are misaligned
●When driving on winding roads or roads that are uneven
●When driving on rough or unpaved roads
■When changing the tires
Depending on the tires used, such as snow tire, etc., sufficient performance may not be
maintainable.
■Warning messages and buzzers for LDA system
Warning messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform
the driver of the need for caution while driving. ( →P. 5 3 1 , 5 3 2 )

■Automatic cancelation of pre-collision system
When a malfunction occurs due to sensor contaminations, etc. that results in the sensors
being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-collis
ion system will be automatically disabled.
In this case, the system will not activat e even if there is a collision possibility.
■Obstacles not detected
The system cannot detect plastic obstacles such as pylons. There may also be occasions
when the system cannot detect pedestrians, animals, bicycles, motorcycles, trees, or
snowdrifts.
■Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no possibility of a collision
In any of the following situations where the fr ontal area of the radar sensor is interrupted,
the radar sensor may detect possibility of a frontal collision and the system may be acti-
vated.
●When passing by an oncoming vehicle in a curve or a turn to the right or the left
●When rapidly approaching an obstacle ahead (e.g. preceding vehicle, toll gate barrier,
etc.)
●When there is a structural object (billboard , low ceiling, fluorescent light, etc.) above
the uphill road ahead
●When driving on a narrow road or through under a low overhead structure (bridge,
tunnel, fly-under, etc.)
●When driving on an uneven road surface
●When there is a metal object, bump, or protrusion on the road surface
●When vehicle’s front part is raised or lowered depending on loading conditions
●When the direction of radar sensor is misaligned by strong impact applied on an area
around the radar sensor, etc.
●When there is an obstacle (guard rail, etc.) by the roadside at the entrance to a curve
●When the front of your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by towing a trailer, during
emergency towing or putting a heavy load in the luggage compartment etc.)
When the system is activated in the situations described above, there is also a possibility
that the seat belts will retract quickly and th e brakes may be applied with a force greater
than normal. When the seat belt is locked in the restricted position, stop the vehicle in a
safe place, release the seat belt and refasten it.
■When there is a malfunction in the system, or if the system is temporarily unusable
Warning lights will turn on or flash, an d warning messages will be displayed.
