Daytime Running Lights
(DRL)
The daytime running lights turn on
automatically when the vehicle starts
moving.
They turn off when the parking brake is
engaged or the gear selector is shifted
to the Park (P) position (if equipped with
automatic transmission).
Note:In some markets, the daytime
running lights can be deactivated. For
markets that allow deactivation, refer to
“Personalization Features” in “Knowing
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
High Beams
The headlights can be switched
between high and low beams by
moving the lever forward or backward.
When the headlight high-beams are on,
the
high beam indicator is
illuminated.
Flash To Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your
headlights by partially pulling the
headlight lever toward the steering
wheel. This will cause the high beam
headlights to turn on until the lever is
released.
The
high beam indicator in the
instrument cluster illuminates
simultaneously.
Automatic Lighting
When the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON, the light will sense the
surrounding lightness or darkness and
automatically turns the headlights, other
exterior lights and dashboard
illumination on or off.
Note: Do not shade the light sensor by
placing a sticker or a label on the
windshield. Otherwise the light sensor
will not operate correctly.
The light sensor also works as a rain
sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep
hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the wiper lever is in
the AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON as fingers could be
pinched or the wipers and wiper blades
damaged when the wipers activate
automatically. If you are going to clean the windshield, be sure the wipers are
turned off completely when the engine
is running.
Note:
The headlights, other exterior lights
and dashboard lights may not turn off
immediately even if the surrounding
area becomes well-lit because the light
sensor determines that it is night time if
the surrounding area is continuously
dark for several minutes such as inside
long tunnels, traffic jams inside tunnels,
or in indoor parking lots. In this case,
the lights turn off if the light switch is
turned to the OFF position.
When the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is
switched to ACC or the ignition is
switched off, the headlights, other
exterior lights and dashboard
illumination will turn off.
The dashboard lights can be
adjusted by rotating the knob in the
instrument cluster. The day/night mode
can be changed by rotating the knob
until a beep sound is heard.
The sensitivity of the automatic
lightsmaybechangedbyan
authorized dealer.

Auto-wiper control
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position, the rain sensor will sense the
amount of rainfall on the windshield and
turns the wipers on or off automatically
(off/intermittent/low speed/high speed).
Adjusting rain sensor sensitivity
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be
adjusted by rotating the switch on the
wiper lever.
From the center position (normal),
rotate the switch downward for higher
sensitivity (+) (faster response) or rotate
it upward for less sensitivity (-) (slower
response).
Note: Do not shade the rain sensor by
placing a sticker or a label on the
windshield. Otherwise the rain sensor
will not operate correctly. When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched
ON, the wipers may move automatically
in the following cases:
If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with a cloth.
If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object from either outside or
inside the vehicle.
Warning!
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is switched
ON as fingers could be pinched or the
wipers and wiper blades damaged when
the wipers activate automatically.
If you are going to clean the windshield,
be sure the wipers are turned off. This
is important when clearing ice and
snow.
Switching the auto-wiper lever from the
OFF to the AUTO position while driving
activates the windshield wipers once,
after which they operate according to
the rainfall amount.
The auto-wiper control may not operate
when the rain sensor temperature is
about 14 °F (–10 °C) or lower, or about
185 °F (85 °C) or higher.
If the windshield is coated with water
repellent, the rain sensor may not be able to sense the amount of rainfall
correctly and auto-wiper control may
not operate properly.
If dirt or debris (such as ice or debris
containing salt water) adheres to the
windshield above the rain sensor or if
the windshield is iced, it could cause
the wipers to move automatically.
However, if the wipers cannot remove
this ice, dirt or debris, the auto-wiper
control will stop operation. In this case,
set the wiper lever to the low speed
position or high speed position for
manual operation, or remove the ice,
dirt or debris by hand to restore the
auto-wiper operation.
If the auto-wiper lever is left in the
AUTO position, the wipers could
operate automatically from the effect of
strong light sources, electromagnetic
waves, or infrared light because the rain
sensor uses an optical sensor.
It is recommended that the auto-wiper
lever be switched to the OFF position
other than when driving the vehicle
under rainy conditions.
The auto-wiper control functions can be
turned off.
Because heavy ice and snow can jam
the wiper blades, the wiper motor is
protected from motor breakdown,
overheating and possible fire by a
circuit breaker. This mechanism will
automatically stop operation of the
blades, but only for about five minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper switch
