■
Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on
automatically (at a reduced intensity) whenever the engine is started and
the parking brake is released. 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.
■ Headlight control sensor
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.

■Automatic light off system
●When the headlights are on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 sec-
onds after a door is opened and closed if the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch has been switched to ACCESSORY or OFF mode.
● When only the tail lights are on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch is switched to ACCESSORY or OFF
mode and driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNI-
TION ON mode, or turn the light switch off once and then back to the
or
position.

■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■ Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sensing
windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the wiper operation when the washer is being used
(delay until drip prevention wiper sweep occurs) even when the wipers are
not in “AUTO” mode.
With “ ” selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to
intermittent wiper operation only when the vehicle is stationary.
(However, when the sensor sensitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the
mode cannot be switched.)
■ Rain drop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
● If the wiper switch is turned to “AUTO” position while the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is in IGNITIO N ON mode, the wiper will operate
once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
● If the temperature of the rain drop sensor is 176 F (80C) or higher, or
14 F (-10 C) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case,
operate the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
●The sensor judges the amount of rain-
drops.
