Headlight leveling switch
(if so equipped)
N00537100062
The direction of the headlight beam (the direction in which the
light shines) alters according to the number of people and the
load in the vehicle. Lower the headlight angle if it is too high
due to the number of people and/or the load in the vehicle so
that the headlights’ glare does not distract the drivers of
approaching vehicles. First set the light switch to the “ ”
position, then turn the headlight leveling switch knob to lower
the beam. The greater the number on the headlight leveling
switch knob, the lower the beam will point.
Set the switch to the appropriate position so that the headlight
beam is level with the road.

ary and the ambient temperature is about 32 °F (0 °C) or
lower.
Do not cover the sensor by affixing a sticker or label to the
windshield. Also, do not put any water-repellent coating
on the windshield. The rain sensor would not be able to

changes in the extent of rain.
• When the wipers do not operate even though it is rain-
ing.

as insects or foreign objects are affixed to the windshield
on top of the rain sensor or when the windshield is frozen.
Objects affixed to the windshield will stop the wipers
when the wipers cannot remove them. To operate the wip-
ers again, move the lever to the “LO” or “HI” position.
Also, the wipers may operate automatically due to strong
direct sunlight or electromagnetic wave. To stop the wip-
ers, move the lever to the “OFF” position.

repair facility of your choice when replacing the wind-
shield glass.

shield, if you touch the rain sensor.
• When cleaning the outside surface of the wind-
shield, if you wipe with a cloth the rain sensor.
• When using an automatic car wash.
• A physical shock is applied to the windshield.
• A physical shock is applied to the rain sensor.If your hands get trapped, you could suffer injuries
or the wipers could malfunction. To deactivate the
rain sensor, place the lever in the “OFF” position.
