Features of your vehicle
Battery saver function
• The purpose of this feature is to
prevent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatically
turns off the position lamps when
the driver turns off the engine and
opens the driver-side door.
• With this feature, the position
lamps will be turned off automati-
cally if the driver parks on the side
of road at night.
If necessary, to keep the lamps on
when the engine is turned off per-
form the following:
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the position lamps OFF
and ON again.
Headlamp escort function
The headlamps (and/or position lamp)
will remain on for approximately 5 min-
utes after the engine start/stop button
is turned to the ACC or OFF position.
However, if the driver’s door is opened
and closed, the headlamps are turned
off after 15 seconds.
The headlamps can be turned off by
pressing the lock button on the smart
key twice or turning off the light
switch from the headlight or Auto
light position.
❈Traffic Change (For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is
asymmetric. If you go abroad to a
country with opposite traffic direc-
tion, this asymmetric part will dazzle
oncoming car driver. To prevent daz-
zle, ECE regulation demand several
technical solutions (ex. automatic
change system, adhesive sheet,
down aiming). This headlamps are
designed not to dazzle opposite driv-
ers. So, you need not change your
headlamps in a country with oppo-
site traffic direction.
LIGHTING
CAUTION
If the driver gets out of the vehi-
cle through other doors (except
driver's door), the battery saver
function does not operate.
Therefore, it causes the battery
to be discharged. In this case,
make sure to turn off the lamp
before getting out of the vehicle.

Driving at night
Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some important tips to
remember:
• Slow down and keep more dis-
tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's head-
lights.
• Keep your headlights clean and
properly aimed on vehicles not
equipped with the automatic head-
light aiming feature. Dirty or
improperly aimed headlights will
make it much more difficult to see
at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the head-
lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not
prepared for the slick pavement.
Here are a few things to consider
when driving in the rain:
• A heavy rainfall will make it harder
to see and will increase the dis-
tance needed to stop your vehicle,
so slow down.
• Keep your windshield wiping
equipment in good shape. Replace
your windshield wiper blades when
they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
