and instrument panel lights turn on.

above turn on.

INFORMATION
■ AUTO mode can be used when
The power switch is in ON.
■ Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime
running lights turn on automatically whenever the hybrid system is started and the
parking brake is released with the headlight switch in position. (Illuminate brighter
than the front position lights.) Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
■ 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 windshield. Doing so interferes with the sensor
3-1. Driving when the surrounding area is dark
