The ''MPH" ("km/h ") disappears when you
reduce the speed below the stored speed.
Also, the ''MPH" goes out when the driving

Automatic headlight adjustment
After you start the engine, as well as while
the vehicle is moving, the headlights auto
matically adjust themselves to the load and
angle of the vehicle (for example, during ac
celeration or braking). This prevents unnec
