■ 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 engine is started and the parking
brake is released with the headlight switch in (Canada only) or position.
(Illuminate brighter than the parking lights.) Daytime running lights are not designed for
use at night.
For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the headlight
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.
■ Cornering lights (if equipped)
When the cornering lights are on for more than 30 minutes, they will turn off automati-
cally.
■ Headlight control sensor
■ Automatic light off system
● When the headlights come on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 seconds after a
door is opened and closed if the engine switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or
turned off. (The lights turn off immediately if on the key is pressed after all the doors
are locked.)
● When only the tail lights come on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the engine
switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off and the driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode, or turn the

■ Automatic headlight leveling system (if equipped)
The level of the headlights is automatically adjusted according to the number of passen-
gers and the loading condition of the vehicle to ensure that the headlights do not inter-
fere with other road users.
■ Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the engine switch is turned off or turned to ACCESSORY mode
and the driver’s door is opened while the lights are turned on.
■ Wel c ome ligh ti ng
If the headlight switch is turned to and the surrounding area is dark, unlocking the
doors using the smart access system with push-button start or wireless remote control
will turn the parking lights and tail lights on automatically.
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 detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.
