Auto-light control
When the power switch is switched ON, the light sensor detects the brightness of
the surrounding area and the headlights and the exterior lights turn on/off
automatically according to the surrounding brightness. When the power switch is
switched OFF, the headlights an d the exterior lights turn off automatically.
CAUTION
 Do not shade the light sensor by adhering 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. If the wiper
lever is in the AUTO position with the power switch switched ON, the wipers may
operate automatically. Be careful not to pinch your hand or fingers. Otherwise, it
could cause injury or damage to the windshield wipers. When cleaning the
windshield (especially when removing snow or ice with the power switch switched
ON (EV system on)), make sure that the wiper switch is turned o ff. If the wipers
are operated, it could cause a problem wi th the windshield wiper or damage the
wiper blade.
NOTE
The headlights and other exte rior 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 cont inuously dark for several minutes such as
inside long tunnels, traffi c jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.
The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.
