Headlamps
NOTE l Do not leave the headlamps and other lamps
on for a long time while the engine is station-
ary (not running). A rundown battery could
result.
l When it rains, or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon
as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob-
lem. When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to
have it checked.Type 1

tion, the low beam of the headlamps, tail lamps,
etc., will illuminate.
Lamp monitor buzzer E00506100067

is in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position or removed
from the ignition switch while the lamps are on, a
buzzer will sound to remind the driver to turn off
the lamps. Turn off the lamp switch to stop the buz-
zer.
Dipper (High/Low beam change) E00506200505
When the lamp switch is in the “

each time the lever is pulled to (1). While the high-
beam is on, the high-beam indication lamp in the in-
strument cluster will also illuminate.
Headlamp flasher E00506300043
The high-beams flash when the lever is pulled slight-
ly to (2), and will go off when it is released.
When the high-beam is on, the high-beam indica-
tion lamp in the instrument cluster will also illumi-
nate.
NOTE l The high-beams can also flash when the
lamp switch is OFF.
l If you turn the lamps off with the headlamps
set to highbeam illumination, the headlamps
are automatically returned to their low-beam
setting when the lamp switch is next turned

The angle of the headlamp beam varies depending
upon the load carried by the vehicle.
The headlamp levelling switch (A) can be used to
adjust the headlamp illumination distance (when
the lower beam is illuminated) so that the head-
lamps’ glare does not distract the drivers of ap-
proaching vehicles.
Set the switch (referring to the following table) to
the appropriate position according to the number of
people and the load in the vehicle.
