l position for
low beams.
OFF: All exterior lights are off.
: Turn on exterior lights except headlights.

Auto High Beam System*
Automatically changes the low beam headlights to high beam headlights wh\
en
necessary.
How It Works
When you are driving at night above 25 mph (40 km/h) and the headlight\
lever is
in the low beam position with the switch rotated to AUTO, the system cha\
nges
between low and high beams depending on the brightness of the vehicle li\
ghts
ahead of you.
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you, the headlights stay in low beams.\
If the
system does not detect any vehicles ahead of you, the headlights change \
to high
beams.
Certain conditions, such as weather and brightness of other vehicles’\
lights, can
affect system operation.
Turning the System On or OffMake sure the headlight lever is in the low beam
position with the switch rotated to the AUTO
position. The auto high beam system indicator
comes on.
To disable the system: Pull and hold the headlight
lever toward you until the indicator flashes twice.
To enable the system: Pull and hold the headlight
lever toward you until the indicator flashes once.

*if equipped
Always ensure the wiper lever is in the OFF position before entering a c\
ar wash to

NOTICE
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get
scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck.
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the de\
froster
to warm the windshield, or manually clear the windshield of ice and snow before
turning on the wipers.
NOTICE

Intermittent (INT) Wipers*When you move the lever to the INT position, the
wipers operate based on the delay adjustment.
Rotate the adjustment ring to adjust the wiper delay.
Headlight-Wiper IntegrationWhen the headlights are in the AUTO position, they automatically turn on\
when
the front wipers operate several times within a certain interval. The he\
adlights
turn off shortly after the wipers are turned off, or if there is enough \
ambient light.
Automatic (AUTO) Rain-Sensing Wipers*When you move the lever to the AUTO position
while driving in rainy weather, the wipers operate
based on the amount of detected rainfall.
Put the lever in the AUTO position only when
driving in rainy weather.
