2012 Lexus GX High Technology Backup Camera and GPS

The new 2012 Lexus GX model is available High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlampsprovide a closer simulation to daylight than conventional halogenlighting. Not only does their brighter, whiter light make it easier tosee in the darkest conditions, but the xenon and metal halide bulbs arealso mercury-free, use less energy and last significantly longer. Helping to provide greater visibility for you without compromising thevisibility of others, the available intelligent high-beam headlamps operate in high-beam mode until a camera on the back of the rearviewmirror detects the headlamps from an oncoming vehicle or anothervehicle traveling closely ahead. The headlamps then automaticallyswitch to low-beam mode until vehicles are no longer detected ahead. Backing out of tight spaces is much easier with the GX's backup camera.When the vehicle is placed in reverse, a tiny camera located above therear license plate provides a view of what the camera's lens can seebehind you, which is conveniently displayed in full colorsimultaneously on the multi-information center console display or theavailable Navigation System screen.
