To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the front turn signal lights
turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and the parking brake
is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
■ Headlight control sensor (vehicles with automatic light control system)
■ Automatic light off system
●When the headlights come on: The headlights and tail lights automati-
cally turn off after 30 seconds when all doors are closed with the engine
switch turned to the ACC or LOCK position. (The lights turn off immedi-
ately if the button on the wireless remote control is pressed after all
doors are locked.)
● When only the tail lights come on: The tail lights turn off automatically
with the engine switch turned to the ACC or LOCK position and the
driver’s door is opened.
Vehicles with automatic light control system: If any of the doors is kept open,
the lights automatically turn off after 20 minutes.
To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to the ON position, or turn
the headlight switch off once and then back to the or position.
■ Customization

tion display)

The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to
the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.
