Turning on the high beam headlights
With the headlights on, push
the lever forward to turn on the
high beams.
Vehicles with Automatic High
Beam: When the light switch is in position, the Automatic
High Beam system will be acti-
vated. ( P. 216)
Pull the lever back to the center
position to turn the high beams
off.

You can flash the high beams

■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to others, the high beam headlights
turn on automatically at a reduced intensity (vehicles with halogen head-
lights) or the LED daytime running lights turn on automatically (vehicles
with discharge headlights) 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.
■ 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.
● 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
IGNITION ON mode, or turn the light switch off once and then back to the or
position.
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.

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
door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position, or
turn the light switch off once and then back to the or posi-
tion.
■ Automatic headlight leveling system (Vehicles with discharge head-
lights)
The level of the headlights is automatically adjusted according to the number
of passengers and the loading condition of the vehicle to ensure that the
headlights do not interfere with other road users.
■ Customization
Settings (e.g. light sensor sensitivity) can be changed.
(Customizable features P. 645)
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not run-
ning.

Automatic High Beam
: If equipped

assess the brightness of streetligh ts, the lights of oncoming and
preceding vehicles, etc., and automatically turns high beam on or off
as necessary.

Push the lever away from you
with the headlight switch in position when the

tem).
