abnormal, have the vehicle inspected by a dealer.

because it will cause the battery to discharge.
Your vehicle is equipped with the automatic
headlight adjusting system that automatically adjusts
the vertical angle of the low beam headlights. If you
find a significant change in the vertical angle of the
headlights, there may be a problem with the system.
