Repeatedly turning the headlights on and off reduces
the life of the HID headlight bulbs.
If you sense that the level of the headlights is
abnormal, have the vehicle inspected by a dealer.
Do not leave the lights on when the engine is off
because it will cause the battery to discharge.
Your vehicle is equipped with the automatic
headlight adjusting system that automatically adjusts
the vertical angle of the low beam headlights. If you
find a significant change in the vertical angle of the
headlights, there may be a problem with the system.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer.Models with high voltage discharge tube bulb
