AERO STABILISING FINS
Aero Stabilising Fins can often be found near the tail lights, exterior mirrors and spread throughout the underneath of the vehicle.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS)
This is especially effective during night-time country driving where ambient light is low, providing the driver with the vision to see objects on the inside of a corner including pedestrians and animals.
See also ‘Cornering Lights’.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM (AHB)
A camera mounted to the inside rear-view mirror detects light sources in front of the vehicle and switches the high beams on and off as needed, assisting the driver to achieve ideal vision at night.
The system can detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles, the tail lights of vehicles ahead, and the presence/absence of street lights. It then determines whether or not to activate / deactivate the high beams.
This system relieves the driver from the necessity of continually operating the high beams manually, and prevents the possibility of the high beams being left on due to forgetfulness.
AHB can be active from approximately 25-30km/h (depending on the model) and can be switched on and off.
See also ‘Adaptive High-beam System’.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
AUTOMATIC LANE CHANGE FLASHER
This provides an ideal notification to surrounding vehicles without the driver having to hold the indicator in position.
The number of flashes can be customised for most models by your Lexus Dealer.
See also ‘Momentary Indicator’.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
AUTOMATIC LEVELLING HEADLIGHTS
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
BI-HALOGEN/BI-XENON/BI-HID/BI-LED HEADLIGHTS
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
CORNERING LIGHTS
Drivers will also appreciate the additional vision in tight turning situations like roundabouts and driveways.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS)
As the vehicle is easier to see it reduces the chance of both vehicle-to-vehicle and pedestrian accidents, especially at dawn and dusk.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
HEADLIGHT WASHERS
Also known as Headlight Cleaners. See also ‘LED Headlights’ and ‘HID Headlights’.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE HEADLIGHTS (HID HEADLIGHTS)
This enables increased night-time vision via increased projection distance yet with reduced power use.
See also ‘Automatic Headlights’, ‘Automatic Levelling Headlights’, ‘Bi Headlights’, ‘Halogen Headlights’ and ‘LED Headlights’.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE (HMI)
To achieve this, designers seek to adapt the machine to the driver, rather than the driver having to adapt to the machine.
The dash and centre console are clearly divided into ‘Display’ and ‘Operation’ zones with the Operation zone centred around the Lexus Remote Touch controller.
The driver can operate the vehicle’s controls intuitively with a natural posture and minimal movement of their body and eyes, almost as if they can control their vehicle with a sixth sense.
This ‘human orientated design’ is a fundamental philosophy of L finesse – Lexus’ design language.
Also known as Human Orientated Design and Ergonomics. See also ‘L finesse’ and ‘Lexus Remote Touch (LRT)’.
LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED)/LED HEADLIGHTS
Lexus utilises LED lights throughout the vehicle from the tail lights to the interior and even the headlights, with the light produced being closer to natural sunlight for improved durability.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
LIGHT GUIDES
LED lights point down and sideways rather than outwards, shooting light around the frame of the lit area and creating a unique border.
See also ‘Light Emitting Diode (LED)’.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
ORNAMENTATION
Areas can include the centre console, dash, door inserts, window switch bases and steering wheel, which can be finished in exclusive materials like Shimamoku, Bamboo or Laser Cut Wood.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
POWER FOLD MIRRORS
This reduces the chance of damage while parked, when reversing into a narrow garage, or simply provides a handy visual reference as to whether the vehicle is locked.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
PUDDLE LIGHT
Also known as Ground Lights. See also ‘Approach Lighting’.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
SELF-RESTORING PAINT
This ensures the long-term quality of both the finish and shine of the paintwork against light scratches from flora and acrylic nails.
Also known as ‘Self-healing Paint’.
*Self-restoring paint contains an outer coating with elastic qualities capable of restoring superficial scratches only.
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
SONIC PAINT TECHNOLOGY
The coating film that expresses colour is divided into a design layer mixed with aluminium pigment, and a functional layer of solid colour. The design layer will shrink during the drying process allowing the alignment of aluminium pigment to improve dramatically.
The result is a finely polished, smooth, metal-like texture that will hold the light in any given weather or time condition – sunny, cloudy and even in low light conditions like in the evening.

SPINDLE GRILLE
This feature is not available on all models and grades. Please see the relevant model information.
