Battery saver function
The purpose of this feature is toprevent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lights when
the driver turns off the engine and
opens the driver-side door.
With this feature, the parking lights will be turned off automatically if
the driver parks on the side of the
road at night.
If necessary, to keep the lights on
when the engine is turned OFF,
perform the following:
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lights OFF and ON again using the light switch
on the steering column.
Headlight escort function
If you turn the Engine Start/Stop
Button to the ACC or OFF position
with the headlights ON, the head-
lights (and/or tail lights) remain on for
about 5 minutes. However, if the dri-
ver’s door is opened and closed, the
headlights are turned off after 15
seconds.
The headlights can be turned off by
pressing the lock button on the smart
key twice or turning the light switch to
the OFF or Auto position.
However, if you turn the light switch
to the Auto position when it is dark
outside, the headlights will not be
turned off. If the driver gets out of the vehicle
through other doors (except driver's
door), the battery saver function
does not operate and the headlight
escort function does not turn off
automatically. Therefore, It causes
the battery to be discharged. In this
case, make sure to turn off the lamp
before getting out of the vehicle.
