HEADLIGHT SWITCH(U.S.A.)
“AUTO” position
The headlights and all other lights automatically turn on

the instrument cluster.
With the knob in the “AUTO” position, there may be a case
that the headlights do not turn on immediately, even when

lot according to lighting conditions. In this case, we
recommend you to twist the knob manually to the second

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 dial

as possible to service the vehicle.
