& Headlight flasherTo flash the headlights, pull the lever
toward you and then release it. The high
beam will remain on for as long as you
hold the lever. The headlight flasher works
even though the light switch is in the
“OFF ”position.
When the headlights are on high beam,
the high beam indicator light “
”on the
combination meter also illuminates.
CAUTION
Do not hold the lever in the flashing
position for more than just a few
seconds.
& Daytime running light system
WARNING
The brightness of the illumination of
the high beam headlights is reduced
by the daytime running light system.
The light switch must always be
turned to the “
”position when it
is dark outside.
The high beam headlights will automati-
cally illuminate at reduced brightness
when the engine has started, under the
following conditions:
. The parking brake is fully released.
. The light switch is in the “OFF”or “
”
position.
NOTEWhen the light switch is in the “
”

Illumination brightness con-
trolThe brightness of clock display, audio, air
conditioner, information display and instru-
ment panel illumination dims when the
light switch is in the “
”or “
”
positions. You can adjust brightness of
the instrument panel illumination for better
visibility.
You can also adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel illumination when the
lighting switch is in the “OFF”position.
To brighten, turn the control dial upward.
To darken, turn the control dial downward.
NOTEWhen the control dial is turned fully
upward, the illumination brightness
becomes the maximum and the auto-
matic dimming function does not work
at all.
Headlight beam leveler (if
equipped)The vehicle has High-Intensity Discharge
(HID) headlights on the low beam setting.
The HID headlights generate more light
than conventional halogen headlights.
Therefore a driver of an oncoming vehicle
may experience too much glare when your
headlight beam height adjustment is high
due to the vehicle carrying a heavy load.
The headlight beam leveler can be used
to adjust beam height to avoid such a
condition.
Adjust the headlight beam level with the
following dial positions according to the
number of passengers and load condition.

lights are illuminated.
Wiper and washer
WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use the
windshield washer until the wind-
shield is sufficiently warmed by the
defroster.
Otherwise the washer fluid can
freeze on the windshield, blocking
your view.
CAUTION
. Do not operate the washer con-
tinuously for more than 10 sec-
onds, or when the washer fluid
tank is empty. This may cause
overheating of the washer motor.
Check the washer fluid level
frequently, such as at fuel stops.
. Do not operate the wipers when
the windshield or rear window is
dry. This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades and
cause the wiper motor to burn
out. Before operating the wiper
on a dry windshield or rear
window, always use the wind-
shield washer.
