High Beams-To switch from low
beams to high beams, push the left
lever forward until you hear a click.
The blue high beam indicator will
come on (see page 71). Pull it back to
return to low beams. To flash the
high beams, pull the lever back
lightly, then release it. The high
beams stay on as long as you hold
the lever back. AUTO
-The automatic lighting
feature turns on the headlights and
all other exterior lights, when it
senses low ambient light.
To turn on automatic lighting, turn
the light switch to AUTO at any time.
The lights will come on automatically
when the outside light level becomes
low (at dusk, for example). The
lights on indicator comes on as a
reminder. The lights and indicator
will turn off automatically when the
system senses high ambient light.
The lights will remain on when you
turn off the ignition switch. They will
turn off automatically when you
remove the key and open the driver's
door. To turn them on again, either
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position or turn the light switch
to the
position. Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine start/
stop button instead of an ignition
switch. ON Mode is the equivalent of
ON (II). See page 196 for ignition
switch and power mode comparison.
Even with the automatic lighting
feature turned on, we recommend
that you turn on the lights manually
when driving at night or in a dense
fog, or when you enter dark areas
such as long tunnels or parking
facilities.
To change the
‘‘AUTO LIGHT
SENSITIVITY ’’setting, see page 126.
Do not leave the light switch in
AUTO if you will not be driving the
vehicle for an extended period (a
week or more). You should also turn
off the lights if you plan to leave the
engine idling or off for a long time.

To use the heaters, press the seat
heater button. The indicator (red)
next to the button will come on.
There are four settings in the
heaters:
HI-Three indicators on.
MID -Two indicators on.
LO -One indicator on.
OFF -All indicators off.
When you press the seat heater
button once, the heater is set to HI.
After the seat reaches a comfortable
temperature, select MID or LOW by
pressing the seat heater button. This
will keep the seat warm. To shut
down the heater, press the seat
heater button until the indicators go
off. To ventilate the seat, press the seat
ventilation button. The indicator
(blue) next to the button will come
on. The air ventilation system has
four settings:
HI
-Three indicators on.
MID -Two indicators on.
LO -One indicator on.
OFF -All indicators off.
When you press the seat ventilation
button once, the system is set to HI.
To change to the lower mode, press
the seat ventilation button. To turn
the air ventilation off, press the seat
ventilation button until the indicators
go off. Follow these precautions whenever
you use the seat heaters and the seat
ventilation:
●Use the HI setting only to heat or
to ventilate the seats quickly,
because it draws large amounts of
current from the battery.●If the engine is left idling for an
extended period, do not use the
seat heaters or the seat ventilation,
even on the LO setting. It can
weaken the battery, causing hard
starting.
A multi-information display message
may inform you when the battery
charge is getting low. See page 85 for
more information.
