VEHICLE CONTROLSVEHICLE CONTROLS
Auto High-Beam System*
Automatically changes the low beam headlights to high beam headlights when 
necessary.
How It Works
When you are driving at night above 25 mph (40 km/h) and the headlight lever is 
in the low beam position with the switch rotated to AUTO, the system changes 
between low and high beams depending on the surrounding conditions.
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you, the headlights stay in low beams. If the 
system does not detect any vehicles ahead of you, the headlights change \
to high
beams. 
Certain conditions, such as weather and brightness of other vehicles’ lights, can 
affect system operation.
Turning the System On or Off
Make sure the headlight lever is in the low beam 
position with the switch rotated to the AUTo
position. The auto high-beam system indicator 
appears when the system is on.
The system is canceled temporarily when you drive at speeds below 15 mph (24 
km/h), the vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h), or the windshield wipers run at 
high speed for more than a few seconds.
To disable the system: When the vehicle is on and parked, pull the headlight lever 
towards you and hold it for 40 seconds. The auto high-beam indicator blinks twice.
To re-enable the system: Pull the headlight lever towards you and hold it for 30
seconds. The auto high-beam indicator blinks once.

turning on the wipers.
NOTICE
Automatic (AUTO) Rain-Sensing Wipers*
When you move the lever to the AUTO position 
while driving in rainy weather, the wipers operate
based on the amount of detected rainfall.

Adjusting the Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all seating positions. Head 
restraints are most effective for protection against whiplash and other \
rear-impact
crash injuries.
The center of the back of the occupant’s head 
should rest against the center of the restraint. The
tops of the occupant’s ears should be level with the 
center height of the restraint.
To raise the head restraint: Pull it upward.
To lower the head restraint: Push it down while
pressing the release button.
To remove the head restraint: Pull the restraint up
as far as it will go. Then push the release button, 
and pull the restraint up and out.
To reinstall a head restraint:
 Insert the legs back 
in place, then adjust the head restraint to an
appropriate height while pressing the release
button. Pull up on the restraint to make sure it is 
locked in position.
In order for the head restraint system to work properly:
• 
Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or from the restraint legs\
.
• 
Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.
• Install each restraint in its proper location.

center of the head
restraint.
