Depending on the number of occupants in the
vehicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight
axis may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is
traveling on a hilly road, the headlights may
directly hit the rearview mirror of the vehicle
ahead or the windshield of the oncoming
vehicle. The light axis can be lowered with the
operation of the switch.
The larger the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.
When traveling with no heavy load or on a flat
road, select position 0.

*1on the switch is off. The
indicator will also be off if all of the warning
systems are deactivated using the settings
menu.
The LDW system will sound a warning chime
and blink the Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
indicator light (orange) to alert the driver if the
vehicle is traveling close to either the left or the
right of a traveling lane with detectable lane markers. (See “Lane Departure Warning (LDW)/
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP)” (P.5-23).)
The BSW system will turn on the side indicator
lights, located next to the outside mirrors, if the
radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detection
zone. If the turn signal is activated in the
direction of the detected vehicle, a chime
sounds twice and the side indicator light will
flash. (See “Blind Spot Warning (BSW)” (P.5-
