To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on
automatically (at a reduced intensity) whenever the hybrid system is started
and the parking brake is released. Da ytime running lights are not designed
for use at night.
For U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.
■ Headlight control sensor
■ Automatic light off system
●When the headlights are on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 sec-
onds after all doors are closed with the “POWER” switch OFF. (The lights
turn off immediately if the button on the key is pressed after all
doors are locked.)
● When only the tail lights are on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the

may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.
