the doors is unlocked. In this case, open the trunk using the trunk opener.

AVALON (U)_(OM41456U)
■Daytime running light system
●Vehicles with halogen headlights: To make your vehicle more visible to other
drivers, the headlight high beam turn on automatically (at a decreased inten-
sity) whenever the engine is started and the parking brake is released. Day-
time running lights are not designed for use at night.
Vehicles with discharge headlights: To make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers, the parking lights turn on automatically (at an increased inten-
sity) whenever the engine is started and the parking brake is released. Day-
time running lights are not designed for use at night.
Type A: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve
fuel economy.
■ Headlight control sensor
■ Automatic light off system
●When the headlights are on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 sec-
onds after the engine switch is turned off and a door is opened and all of the
doors and trunk are closed. (The lights turn off immediately if on the
key is pressed twice after all the doors are closed.)
● When only the tail lights are on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the
engine switch is turned off and the driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode, or
turn the light switch off once and then back to or .
If any of the doors or trunk lid is kept open, the lights automatically turn off
after 20 minutes.
■ Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the engine switch is turned off or turned to ACCES-
SORY 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 anything
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.
