SWITCHES Automatic headlight leveling system (vehicles with discharge headlight only) HEADLIGHT SWITCH (Canada) Vehicle position changes according to loading condition, passengers getting on and off, vehicle acceleration and deceleration, etc. However, as the headlight beam level is always maintained automatically by the system at the proper level, your headlights do not dazzle other road users. If this system fails, the warning light in the instrument cluster comes on. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer. If you replace the rear suspension and/or the vehicle height changes, contact your Lexus dealer to check the automatic headlight leveling system and headlight beam level. To turn the lights on, twist the knob on the end of the lever. FIRST CLICKSTOP: Only the parking, tail, license plate, side marker and instrument panel lights turn on. SECOND CLICKSTOP: Headlights also turn on. THIRD CLICKSTOP ("AUTO"): The headlights and all other lights automatically turn on depending on the darkness of the surroundings.* NOTE: * The operating condition or sensitivity can be changed. Ask your Lexus dealer for details. When the tail lights are on, the tail light indicator lights up in the instrument cluster. 28
