AUTO (Auto-light control)
When the headlight switch is in the AUTO position and the ignition is switched ON, the
light sensor senses the surrounding lightness or darkness and automatically turns the
headlights, other exterior lights and instrument panel illumination on or off (see chart
above).
CAUTION
l
Do not shade the light sensor by adhering a sticker or a label on the windscreen.
Otherwise the light sensor will not operate correctly.
l
The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep hands
and scrapers clear of the windscreen when the wi per lever is in the AUTO position
and the ignition is switched ON as fingers could be pinched or the wipers and wiper
blades damaged when the wipers activate automatically. If you are going to clean the
windscreen, be sure the wipers are turned off completely ― this is particularly
important when clearing ice and snow ― when it is particularly tempting to leave the
engine running.
