2-3. Operating the lights and windshield wipers
GX460_OM_OM60J63U_(U)
■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on auto-
matically (at a reduced intensity) whenever the engine is started and the parking
brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.
●Compared to the headlights, the daytime running light system offers greater
durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help fuel economy.
■Headlight control sensor
■Automatic light off system
●When only the tail lights come on: The parking/front side marker, tail, license
plate and fog lights turn off if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to
ACCESSORY mode or turned off and the driver’s door is opened.
●When the headlights come on: The headlights, parking/front side marker, tail,
license plate and fog lights turn off 30 seconds after a door or the glass hatch is
opened and closed. (The lights turn off immediately if on the key is
pressed after all the doors are locked.)
To turn the lights on again, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION
ON mode, or turn the light switch off once and then back to
or .
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.

■Limitations of the Automatic High Beam
Do not rely on the Automatic High Beam. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings and turning high beam on or off manually if necessary.
■Camera sensor detection information
●High beam may not be automatically turned off in the following situations:
• When oncoming vehicles suddenly appear from a curve.
• When another vehicle cuts across in front of you.
●High beam may be turned off if an oncoming vehicle that is using fog lights with-
out using the headlights is detected.
●Houselights, streetlights, red traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs
may cause the high beam to turn off.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn high beam on
or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of oncoming and pre-ceding vehicles
• Road conditions (wetness, ice, snow etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of baggage
●High beam may be turned on or off when unexpected by the driver.
