■Daytime running light system
●Vehicles with an automatic transmission: To make your vehicle more visi-
ble to other drivers, the daytime running lights turn on automatically
whenever the engine is started, the select lever is shifted out of P and the
parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for

●Vehicles with a manual transmission: To make your vehicle more visible
to other drivers, the daytime running lights turn on automatically when-
ever the engine is started and the parking brake is released. Daytime
running lights are not designed for use at night.
●Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.

The sensor may not function properly if

detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.
