■ AUTO mode can be used when
The engine switch is in ON.
■ Daytime running light system
● The daytime running lights illuminate
using the same lights as the parking lights
and illuminate brighter than the parking
lights.
● To make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers during daytime driving, the
daytime running lights turn on automati-
cally when all of the following conditions
are met. (The daytime running lights are
not designed for use at night.)
• The engine is running
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the or
*
position
*
: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain on after
they illuminate, even if the parking brake is
set again.
● For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights
can be turned off by operating the head-
light switch to position.
● Compared to turning on the headlights,
the daytime running light system offers
greater durability and consumes less
electricity, so it can help improve fuel
economy.
■ Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detect-
ing the level of ambient light and may cause
the automatic headlight system to malfunc-
tion.
Headlight switch
The headlights can be operated
manually or automatically.
