Lexus RX300 2001 Owner's Manual page 44

When the headlights come on: The lights automatically turn off
about 30 seconds after any of the doors is opened and closed
with the ignition key turned to the "ACC" or "LOCK" position.*
When only the tail lights come on: The lights automatically turn
off with the driver's door opened and the ignition key turned to
the "ACC" or "LOCK" position. To turn them on 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.
When the headlight switch is on with all the doors locked,
pushing the "LOCK" button on the wireless remote control key
turns off the headlights.
NOTE: *The time before turning off the lights can be
changed. Ask your Lexus dealer for details.
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.
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.
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the lights on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.
