sors of other vehicles
• The movement of people outside

Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the front position lights
turn on automatically (at an increased intensity) whenever the hybrid system
is started. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
Headlight control sensor
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
