SWITCHES
33
To turn the lights on, twist the knob on the end of the lever.
FIRST CLICKSTOP: Only the parking, tail, license plate,
side marker and instrument panel lights turn on.
SECOND CLICKSTOP: Headlights also turn on.
THIRD CLICKSTOP (ºAUTOº): The headlights and all
other lights automatically turn on depending on the darkness
of the surroundings.
When the headlights are on, the headlight indicator lights up
in the instrument cluster.
Manually twist the knob to the second clickstop to turn on
the headlights if they are needed immediately when
entering a dark tunnel, parking structure, etc.

SWITCHES
34
The automatic light control sensor is on top of the driver's
side instrument panel.
Do not place anything on the instrument panel, and/or do not
affix anything on the windshield to block this sensor.
The lights automatically turn off when the driver's door is
opened with the ignition key turned to the ºACCº or ºLOCKº
position. To turn them on again, turn the ignition key to the
ºONº position or turn the headlight switch off and then twist
the knob until the first or second clickstop. If you are going
to park for over one week, make sure the headlight switch is
off.
When the headlight switch is turned to the first or second
clickstop, the brightness of the instrument cluster will be
reduced slightly unless the instrument panel light control
knob is turned fully on.

SWITCHES
35
Daytime Running Light System
The headlights turn on at reduced intensity when the parking
brake is released with the engine started, even with the light
switch in the ºOFFº position. They will not go off until the
ignition switch is turned off.
To turn on the other exterior lights and instrument panel
lights, twist the knob to the first clickstop.
Twist the knob to the second clickstop to turn on the
headlights to full intensity for driving at night.
When setting the knob to the third clickstop (ºAUTOº), the
headlights will automatically adjust to full intensity and/or
turn on the other lights depending on the darkness of the
surroundings. Likewise, as the surroundings become
brighter, the headlights will turn to reduced intensity,
ultimately turning off the other lights.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave
the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not
running.
