■Daytime running light system
●Vehicles without a smart key sys-
tem :The daytime running lights
illuminate using the same lights as
the headlights and illuminate
darker than the headlights.
Vehicles with a smart key system
:The daytime runni ng lights illumi-
nate using the sa me lights as the
parking lights and illuminate darker
than the parking lights.
●To make your vehicle more visible
to other drivers during daytime
driving, the daytime running lights
turn on automatically when all of
the following condi tions are met.
(The daytime running lights are
not designed for use at night.)
• The engine is running
• The parking brake is released

The daytime running lights remain
on after they illumi nate, even if the
parking brake is set again.
●Daytime running lights can be
turned off by operating the switch.
●Compared to turning on the head-
lights, the daytime running light
system offers gr eater durability
and consumes less electricity, so
it can help improve fuel economy.
■Headlight control sensor (if
equipped)
The sensor may not function prop-
erly if an object is placed on the sen-
sor, 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 t he automatic head-
light system to malfunction.
■Automatic light off system

system (if equipped)
The level of the headlights is auto-
matically adjusted according to the
number of passengers and the load-
ing condition of the vehicle to
ensure that the headlights do not
interfere with o ther road users.
■Windshield wiper linked head-
light illumination (vehicles with
a headlight control sensor )
When driving during daytime with
the headlight switch turned to , if
the windshield wipers are used, the
headlights will turn o n automatically
after several se conds to help
enhance the visibility of your vehi-
cle.
■Battery-saving function
In order to prevent the battery of the

1804-3. Operating the lights and wipers
vehicle from discharging, if the
headlights and/or tail lights are on
when the engine switch is turned off
the battery saving function will oper-
ate and automatically turn off all the
lights after appr oximately 20 min-
utes. When the engine switch is
turned to ON, the battery-saving
function will be disabled.
When any of the fo llowing are per-
formed, the battery -saving function
is canceled once and then reacti-
vated. All the light s will turn off auto-
matically 20 minutes after the
Battery- saving function has been
