SWITCHES To turn on the lights again, turn the ignition key to the "ON" position, or turn the headlight switch off and then twist the knob until the first or second clickstop. If you are going to park for over one week, make sure the headlight switch is off. Daytime Running Light System The headlights turn on at reduced intensity when the parking brake is released with the engine started, even with the light switch in the "OFF" position. They will not go off until the ignition switch is turned off. The automatic light control sensor is on the top of the driver's side instrument panel. Do not place anything on the instrument panel, and/or do not affix anything on the windshield to block this sensor. When the headlights are on, they automatically turn off about 30 seconds after any door or trunk lid is opened and closed with the ignition key turned to the "ACC" or "LOCK" position.* If you want to turn off the lights immediately, push the "LOCK" button on the wireless remote control key twice. The lights also can be turned off immediately by pushing the "LOCK" button on the wireless remote control key with all the doors locked and the trunk lid closed. To turn on the other exterior lights and instrument panel lights, twist the knob to the first clickstop. Twist the knob to the second clickstop to turn on the headlights to full intensity for driving at night. When setting the knob to the third clickstop ("AUTO"), the headlights will automatically adjust to full intensity and/or turn on the other lights depending on the darkness of the surroundings. Likewise, as the surroundings become brighter, the headlights will turn to reduced intensity, ultimately turning off the other lights. NOTE: * The time before turning off the lights can be changed. Ask your Lexus dealer for details. When only the tail lights are on, they automatically turn off with the driver's door opened and the ignition key turned to the "ACC" or "LOCK" position. 38
