daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the hybri d system is
started and the parking brake is released with the headlight sw itch in .
(Illuminate brighter than the front position lights.) Daytime r unning lights are
not designed for use at night.
■ Headlight control sensor

windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.
