●When the headlights come on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 seconds after a
door is opened and closed if the power switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or
turned off. (The lights turn off immediately if on the key is pressed after all the doors

■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.
■12-volt battery-saving function
In order to prevent the vehicle 12-volt battery from discharging, if the headlights and/or
tail lights are on when the power switch is turned off the 12-volt battery saving function
will operate and automatically turn off all the lights after approximately 20 minutes.
When the power switch is turned to ON mode, the 12-volt battery-saving function will be
disabled.
When any of the following are performed, the 12-volt battery-saving function is canceled
once and then reactivated. All the lights will turn off automatically 20 minutes after the
12-volt battery-saving function has been reactivated:
●When the headlight switch is operated
●When a door is opened or closed
■Customization
Settings (e.g. light sensor sensitivity) can be changed.
(Customizable features: →P. 5 9 1 )
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.
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the hybrid system is off.
