Not sure what happened to the image, but its the button blanks under the Rear Vent L button and the RSCA OFF button.

Probably the blank for the OEM Subtank, rear fogs, head light washers, things we didn't get in the US.

On my 03 the night vision control is underneath the RSCA OFF button.

Different specs, different switches...

Awesome that you can adjust the pitch of your headlights. Power folding mirrors would be trick for the trail. What's the 'power heater'?

My 2001 LX has the power folding mirrors, but I would LOVE to have the headlight aim adjustment! Sweet!

Wish we had the Power Heater option in the US. I have that on my old 4Runner - there is an electric heater somewhere under the hood that heats the defroster air while the coolant warms up. Big difference in the winter and in really wet climates.

What the Hell?!? Why do all the non US LC get all the goodies. I use to think it it could not get any better with these rigs, but after seeing all these extras not to mention Diesel and other fuel options, we are getting shafted here in the US of A!

Interesting. Never heard of it. Must be just a big electric coil like on electric furnaces. Would think it would be an easy retro...

Hmmm... How do those headlight adjusters work? Must have servos on the adjusters... Surely they could be retrofitted?

Headlights with servo-motors will probably fit any 100.

On this side of the puddle we think of automatic dimming headlights, auto rearview mirror and electric quarter windows as goodies. We always want what we don't have. (And you own forever only what you have given, or lost....)

Power heater is a hydraulic friction heater, belt driven, which is a must for diesels in really cold climates. The diesel is very efficient when idling, so it doesn't generate enough heat to keep warm. Not very useful if you don't have -30 C. The difference in time it takes for heating up during normal driving is not really detectable. Other diesels have "Idle-up" instead.

It was used in Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Prado, Toyota Surf, DaimlerChrysler Cherokee; among others.

The heater you describe is definitely of different type of heater than that on my 4Runner. I have a gas 3L v6 and the heater is definitely electric. I have a separate block heater for the cold days where I used to live.
