denslexusgx470 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Oh i didn't mean "no" as anything i was just excited LOLI think that the loaners are just the same as every other car...The AFS is in pretty much most of the rx330's that i have seen. some don't have it though. and i don't know why it didn't turn for you...maybe you do need to be rolling i haven't really checked that way.... try it moving and check it out..It's great! And make sure the orange AFS OFF light isn't on in the left part of the instrument cluster. ← yea i will. it just surprised me cuz previous loaner RX330s don't have it. when the car starts with the lights on, the lights only move up and down. this one, it moved to an angle, then down an angle, then up. just crazy!!!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the rx300 had AFS ← hey i just came back from my joyride. seems like the turning of the lights is more pronounced when turning left. when turning right, not really. at first, it only turned if it was a fast left turn. eventually it turned left, even when i was driving slowly (turning left) into my garage... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Yeah the headlight on the left moves more than the right headlight. This is because you're on the right side of the road, and you need to see more of the pavement not the woods LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 AFS stands for adaptive front lighting system. And the up and down thing it does is the auto-leveling. all lexus models (with xenon HID's) have this. When you first start up the car, you can see the beam of light move down, up, and center. if you have a lot of weight in the back seat, the headlights will point downward to not blind oncoming traffic. It's really cool! check for it on the GX next time it's started up...look at the wall directly in front of it. It's REALLY cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sha4000 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 i saw on the news a getty station was charging $3.59 for premium and it will most likely get worst. the city had consumer affairs people out checking the pumps ll over the city to make sure people are getting all the gas they pay for thatsounds like a public relation thing to make us feel better about the prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really glad that I didn't trade that ES in for the RX330 6 months ago. When I was 8 years old, I remember the oil embargo. My parents could only get gas on the odd or even days based on the last digit of your plate. The lines at the pumps went around the block and people would run out of gas just sitting in line. Time to start thinking about carpooling again. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then minutes later (i was stuck in traffic, we all were LOL) i saw them put comes up and the station had to close down; must have ran out of gas! This is unbelievable!

91L3xus Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 It's never going to stop. A major gas pipeline for the east coast runs directly from LA up through D.C. and into New England. All the gas stations closed at 9 in my area, and cops were stationed outside every one. I was the last customer at Shell, $3.47... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
