lights come on while the headlight switch is in
the AUTO position with the high beam selected.
This indicates that the high beam assist system
is operational. (See “High beam assist” (P.2-
45) .)
High beam indicator light
This light illuminates when the headlight high
beam is on and goes out when the low beam is
selected.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control and/or
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) mal-
function.
The malfunction indicator light may also illumi-
nate steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, or if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check
to make sure the fuel-filler cap is installed and
closed tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3
US gallons (11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine
is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not
ready for an emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See “Readiness for Inspec-
tion/Maintenance (I/M) test” (P.10-18) .)
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:
.Malfunction indicator light on steady — An
emission control system and/or CVT mal-
function has been detected. Check the fuel-
filler cap if the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning

High beam assist (if so equipped)
The high beam assist system will operate when
the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately
19 MPH (30 km/h) and above. If an oncoming
vehicle or leading vehicle appears in front of your
vehicle when the headlight high beam is on, the
headlight will be switched to the low beam

Precautions on high beam assist:
WARNING
.The high beam assist system is a
convenience but it is not a substi-
tute for safe driving operation. The
driver should remain alert at all
times, ensure safe driving practices
and switch the high beams and low
beam manually when necessary.
.The high beam or low beam may not
switch automatically under the fol-
lowing conditions. Switch the high
beam and low beam manually.
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, wind, etc.) .
— When a light source similar to a
headlight or tail light is in the
vicinity of the vehicle.— When the headlights of the
oncoming vehicle or the leading
vehicle are turned off, when the
color of the light is affected due
to foreign materials on the
lights, or when the light beam
is out of position.
— When there is a sudden, contin-
uous change in brightness.
— When driving on a road that
passes over rolling hills, or a
road that has level differences.
— When driving on a road with
many curves.
— When a sign or mirror-like sur-
face is reflecting intense light
towards the front of the vehicle.
— When the container, etc. being
towed by a leading vehicle is
reflecting intense light.
— When a headlight on your vehi-
cle is damaged or dirty.
— When the vehicle is leaning at
an angle due to a punctured tire,
being towed, etc..The timing of switching the low
beam and high beam may change
under the following situations.
— The brightness of the headlights

ing vehicle.
— The movement and direction of
the oncoming vehicle and the
leading vehicle.
— When only one light on the
oncoming vehicle or the leading
vehicle is illuminated.
