turn on automatically whenever the hybrid system is started and the parking
brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
Headlight control sensor
Automatic light off system
When the light switch is in : The headlights turn off automatically if the
power switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off.

matically if the power switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off.

after 20 minutes.
Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the power switch is turned off or turned to ACCES-
SORY mode and the driver’s door is opened while the lights are turned on.
Automatic headlight leveling system
The level of the headlights is automatically adjusted according to the number
of passengers and the loading condition of the vehicle to ensure that the
headlights do not interfere with other road users. The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to
the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight system
to malfunction.

With the compressor switch off, disconnect the hose from the
valve on the tire and then pull out the power plug from the power
outlet socket.
Some sealant may leak when the hose is removed.
Install the valve cap onto the valve of the emergency repaired
tire.
Attach the air release cap to
the end of the hose.
If the air release cap is not
attached, the sealant may leak and
the vehicle may get dirty.
Temporarily store the bottle in the trunk while it is connected to
the compressor.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediately
drive safely for about 5 km (3 miles) below 80 km/h (50 mph).
After driving for about 5 km
(3 miles), stop your vehicle in
a safe place on a hard, flat sur-
face and remove the air release
cap from the hose before
reconnecting the repair kit.
