154 2-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the front turn signal
lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and the park-
ing brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at
night.
Type A: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.
● 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.
■ Automatic light off system
Opening the driver’s door with the engine switch in the ACC or LOCK posi-
tion will turn the headlights and tail lights off.
To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to the ON position, or turn
the headlight switch off once and then back to the or position.
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not run-
ning.
