Airbag system components
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As
the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the
airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu-
pants.Knee airbags

Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
Automatic light off system
Vehicles without a headlight control sensor
Opening the driver’s door with the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in
ACCESSORY or OFF mode will turn the headlights and tail lights off.
To turn the lights on again, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to
IGNITION ON mode, or turn the headlight switch off once and then back
to or .
Vehicles with a headlight control sensor
When the light switch is in the
position: The headlights turn off
automatically if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to ACCES-
SORY or OFF mode.
When the light switch is in the
AUTO position: The headlights and all
lights turn off automatically if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to ACCESSORY or OFF mode and the driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNI-
TION ON mode, or turn the light switch off once and then back to the
or position.
Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to
ACCESSORY or OFF mode and the driver’s door is opened while the lights
are turned on.
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.

228 2-3. Operating the lights and wipers
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles equipped with
rain-sensing windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the wiper operation when the washer is being used
(delay until drip prevention wiper sweep occurs) even when the wipers are
not in “AUTO” mode.
With “ ” selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to inter-
mittent wiper operation only when the vehicle is stationary.
(However, when the sensor sensitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the
mode cannot be switched.)
Rain drop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
If the wiper switch is turned to “AUTO” position while the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode, the wiper will operate
once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
If the temperature of the rain drop sensor is 80C (176F) or higher, or
-10C (14F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case,
operate the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.
If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked and if there is washer fluid in
the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
The sensor judges the amount of rain-
drops.
