This function works when the ignition
switch is turned to “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to ON. The headlights and
position lights are turned on and off auto-
matically according to the amount of out-
side light detected by a sensor. They go
out automatically when you turn the igni-
tion switch to “ACC” or “LOCK” position or
change the ignition mode to ACC or LOCK
(OFF) by pressing the engine switch.
The light sensor (5) for sensing the amount
of outside light is installed on the passen-
ger’s seat side of instrument panel.
