■Daytime running light system
●Vehicles with an automatic transmission: To make your vehicle more visi-
ble to other drivers during daytime driv ing, the daytime running lights turn
on automatically whenever the engine is started, the shift lever is shifted
out of P and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch off or
in the “AUTO” position. (Illuminate dimmer than the high beam head-
lights.) Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
● Vehicles with a manual transmission: To make your vehicle more visible
to other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime running lights turn on
automatically whenever the engine is started and the parking brake is
released with the headlight switch off or in the “AUTO” position. (Illumi-
nate dimmer than the high beam headlights.) 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.

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