How To Verify "headlights That Turn In Direction Of Travel" An

[ulmas]

Hello everyone, my first post here. I'm buying a Lexus RX 2008. The poster advertised the car with certain features, along many others these are listed:

1. Xenon headlights that turn in direction of travel
2. 210 watts Mark Levinson audio system with in dash 6 disc changer
3. Keyless entry

Mark Levinson

When I started asking about certain features, he didn't seem to be sure what most of them even mean (certainly not a feature geek like I am). I did some search and found a way to verify if ML (Mark Levinson) is installed. So to check that, I would need to look for the ML logo on the unit.

Turning Headlights

Now, how can I check for the Xenon headlights that turn? I know "Xenon headlights" are standard, but the turning ones are not. The car is parked in the underground garage. What's the best way to check if the car has indeed turning headlights or not? I can't take it on a highway.

Keyless Entry

Also... what exactly does "Keyless entry" mean? I saw this feature on many Lexuses starting with years 2004-2005. I assumed this is how it works (from my experience with ES 2013 that I drove a couple of times): I lock the car and leave. When I return, I can keep the keys in my pockets and just open the door. The car will detect the key is in close proximity and will unlock the door.

However, when I enquired about this feature, the seller says "it's keyless: you press the unlock button on the key, and it opens". I thought any car with a remote key works that way, but that keyless actually works without pressing any buttons or even pulling the key from the pocket.

I checked the features with VIN on VIN Decoder and didn't see anything about Mark Levinson or turning headlights. Are they supposed to be listed on VIN Decoder if available? I can post the VIN if it helps.

I appreciate any advice!

if you are in a dark garage and the lights are on auto on the stalk you will see them sweep left to right when you first start the vehicle, they will auto adjust on startup one time. also there should be an AFS off switch on the left of the dash by the steering column, so the feature can be turned on and off.

Keyless entry simply means you can lock/unlock with the key fob instead of inserting the key in the door lock, like most cars have for the past 15 years. Smart keys are the ones you can leave in your pocket the whole time.

The swiveling headlights (AFS) are more obvious when turning left than right. They only turn a small amount to the right and it's not really noticeable. If you have an AFS switch under the dash you have this option.

The ML system has a logo on the head unit, and uses different speakers and an amplifier in the back under the cargo area tool tray.

....an RX2008? I never heard of that model. ^_^

But yes, all that was mentioned is correct.
