Turning on the high beam headlights
With the headlights on, push
the lever forward to turn on the
high beams.

Beam: When the light switch is in position, the Automatic

vated. ( P. 202)
Pull the lever back to the center

off.
Pull the lever toward you to
turn on the high beams.

You can flash the high beams
with the headlights on or off.
■ 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.
Vehicles for U.S.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.

■Headlight control sensor
■ Automatic light off system
Vehicles with smart key system
●When the headlights are on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30
seconds after a door is opened and closed if the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch has been switched to ACCESSORY or OFF mode.

Vehicles without smart key system
● When the headlights are on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30
seconds after a door is opened and closed if the engine switch has
been switched to “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
● When only the tail lights are on: The tail lights turn off automatically if
the engine switch is switched to “ACC” or “LOCK” position and driver’s

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.
