started and the parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not
designed for use at night.
Type A and B: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the
switch.

offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve
fuel economy.

■ Customization

(Customizable features: P. 485)
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the
windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.
