HeadlampsRotate the switch to turn on the lamps.
NOTE●Do not leave the headlamps and other lamps on for a long
while the engine is stationary. A run-down battery could
result.
●When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the
inside of the lens sometimes becomes foggy. This is the
same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a
humid day, and does not indicate a functional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will remove the
fog. However, if water gathers inside the lamp, we recom-
mend you to have it checked.[Vehicles with Daytime Running Lamp]When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position and the lamp
switch is set to the “OFF” position, the low beam of the head-
lamps, tail lamps, etc., will illuminate.
