2524-3. Operating the lights and wipers
HILUX_OM_OM0K513E_(EE)
This system allows the headlights and front position lights to be turned
on for 30 seconds when the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK”
position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles
with smart entry & start system).
Pull the lever toward you and
release it with the light switch is in
or after turning the
engine switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion (vehicles without smart entry
& start system) or off (vehicles
with smart entry & start system).
Pull the lever toward you and
release it again to turn off the
lights.
Q Daytime running light system (if equipped)
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 in . (Illuminate
brighter than the front position lights.) The daytime running light system is not
designed for use at night.
Q Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
Extended Headlight Lighting system (if equipped)
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.

warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE

Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
Q When the washer fluid tank is empty
