Daytime running light system (if equipped)
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on
automatically whenever the engine is started. The daytime running light sys-
tem is not designed for use at night.
Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the key is removed and the driver’s door is opened
while the lights are turned on.
The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing 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.

Rear view monitor camera
Smear effect
The camera uses a special lens. The
distance of the image that appears on
the screen differs from the actual dis-
tance.
In the following cases, it may be difficult
to see images on the screen even when
the system is functioning correctly:
• The vehicle is in a dark area, such
as at night.
• The temperature near the lens is
extremely high or low.
• Water droplets are on the camera
lens or humidity is high, such as
when it rains.
• Foreign matter, such as snow and
mud, adheres to the camera lens.
• The sun or headlights are shining
directly into the camera lens.
• The camera has scratches or dirt on
it.
If a bright light, such as sunlight reflected
off the vehicle body, is picked up by the
camera, a smear effect
* characteristic to
the camera may occur.
*: Smear effectA phenomenon that
occurs when a bright light is picked up
by the camera; when transmitted by
the camera, the light source appears to
have a vertical streak above and below
it.
