Turning on the high beam headlights
With the headlights on, push
the lever away from you to
turn on the high beams.

center position to turn the high
beams off.
Pull the lever toward you and
release it to flash the high

■Daytime running light system (Canada only)
● To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving,
the daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is
started with the headlight switch off 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.
