matically (at an increased intensity) whenever the hybrid system is started and the

■Automatic headlight leveling system
The level of the headlights is automatically adjusted according to the number of pas-

interfere with other road users. The sensor may not func tion properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield.

the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.
