Headlight aiming control (if so equipped)Depending on the number of occupants in the
vehicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight
axis may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is
traveling on a hilly road, the headlights may
directly hit the rearview mirror of the vehicle
ahead or the windshield of the oncoming
vehicle. The light axis can be lowered with the
operation of the switch.
The larger the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.
When traveling with no heavy load or on a flat
road, select position 0.

WARNING
Xenon headlights are extremely bright
compared to conventional headlights. If
the xenon headlights hit the rearview
mirror of the vehicle ahead or the
windshield of oncoming vehicle, the
driver of these vehicles may have
difficulty driving because of the bright-
ness. Use the headlight aiming control
switch to lower the light axis. See
“XENON HEADLIGHTS” earlier in this
section for additional information.Daytime running light system (Canada

nate when the engine is started with the parking
brake released. The daytime running lights
operate with the headlight switch in the OFF
position or in the

is active, tail lights on your vehicle are
not on. It is necessary at dusk to turn on
your headlights. Failure to do so could
cause an accident injuring yourself and
others.

.On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predicted course line and the
actual course line.
.If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predicted
course lines may be displayed in-
correctly. If this occurs, please per-
form the following procedures:
— Turn the steering wheel from
lock to lock while the engine is
running.
— Drive the vehicle on a straight
road for more than 5 minutes.
.When the steering wheel is turned
with the ignition switch in the ACC
position, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly.
.The displayed lines will appear
slightly off to the right because the
rear view camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
.The distance guide line and the
vehicle width line should be used
as a reference only when the vehicle
is on a level paved surface. The
distance viewed on the monitor is
for reference only and may bedifferent than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.
.When backing-up the vehicle up a
hill objects viewed in the monitor
are further than they appear. When
backing-up the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are
closer than they appear. Use the
inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge dis-
tances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.
