When the tail lights are turned on, the meter’s brightness will be reduced
slightly unless the meter brightness level adjustment is set to the brightest
setting.
On some models: If the tail lights are turned on when the surroundings are
dark, the meter’s brightness will reduce slightly. However, when the sur-
roundings are bright, such as during the daytime, the meter’s brightness will
not be reduced even if the tail lights are turned on.

●Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.

coolant temperature display is flashing. In this case, immediately stop the
vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled com-
pletely. (

■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on
automatically (at a reduced intensity) whenever the engine is started and
the parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for
use at night.
U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.

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.
