turn ON the headlights when driving at 
night or in a fog, driving in the rain, or 
when you enter dark areas, such as 
tunnels and parking facilities.

sensor (1) located at the upper end of 
the windshield glass.

types of metallic coating on the front 
windshield, the AUTO headlight system 
may not work properly.
