SWITCHES HEADLIGHT SWITCH (U.S.A.) When the headlights are on, the headlight indicator lights up in the instrument cluster. With the knob in the "AUTO" position, there may be a case that the headlights do not turn on immediately, even when the vehicle enters a dark place such as a tunnel or parking lot according to lighting conditions. In this case, we recommend you to twist the knob manually to the second clickstop to turn on the headlights immediately. When the headlight switch is turned to the first or second clickstop, the brightness of the instrument cluster will be reduced slightly unless the instrument panel light control dial is turned fully up. "DRL OFF" position The daytime running light (DRL) system does not work when the knob is set in this position. For details, see the following "Daytime Running Light (DRL) System". "AUTO" position The headlights and all other lights automatically turn on depending on the darkness of the surroundings when the ignition key is in the "ON" position.* NOTE: * The sensitivity of the automatic light control sensor can be changed. Ask your Lexus dealer for details. To turn on the lights manually, 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. 32
