■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 automatically 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 (Canada only), 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 switch.
●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 windshield. Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting the level of ambient light and may cause the automatic headlight system to malfunction.
■Automatic light off system
●When the headlights come on: The headlights and tail lights automatically turn off after 30 seconds when all doors are closed with the engine switch turned to ACC or OFF. (The lights turn off immediately if the button on the wireless remote control is pressed after all doors are locked.)
●When only the tail lights come on: The tail lights turn off automatically with the engine switch turned to ACC or OFF and the driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to ON, or turn the headlight switch off once and then back to the or position.
■Customization
Settings (e.g. light sensor sensitivity) can be changed. (Customizable features: P. 548)
NOTICE

Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not running.
