Auto light position (if equipped)
When the light switch is in the AUTO light
position, the taillights and headlights will
turn ON or OFF automatically depending
on the amount of light outside the vehi-
cle.
High beam operation
To turn on the high beam headlights,
push the lever away from you. Pull it back
for low beams.
The high beam indicator will light when
the headlight high beams are switched
on.
To prevent the battery from being dis-
charged, do not leave the lights on for a
prolonged time whilst the engine is not
running.
CAUTION
• Never place anything over sensor
(1) located on the instrument
panel. This will ensure better
auto-light system control.
• Don’t clean the sensor using a
window cleaner. The cleaner may
leave a light film which could
interfere with sensor operation.
• If your vehicle has window tint or
other types of metallic coating on
the front windscreen, the Auto

erly.

Projection Headlamp
This headlamp is bi-function type that
switches the low beam to high or the
high beam to low using solenoid system.
So, the moving sound may be heard
when the headlamp switches the low
beam to high or the high beam to low
and it does not indicate malfunction of
the headlamp.
❈Traffic Change (MFR Headlamp)
(For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is asym-
metric. If you go abroad to a country with
opposite traffic direction, this asymmetric
part will dazzle oncoming car driver. To
prevent dazzle, ECE regulation demand
several technical solutions (ex. automatic
change system, adhesive tape, down
aiming). These headlamps are designed
to be masked with adhesive tape accord-
ing to below picture.
