Battery saver function
The purpose of this function is toprevent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatical-
ly turns OFF the parking lights
when the driver turns OFF the
engine and opens the driver's
door.
With this function, the parking lights are turned OFF automatical-
ly if the driver parks the vehicle on
the side of the road at night.
If necessary, in order to keep the
lights ON when the engine is
turned OFF, perform the follow-
ings:
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lights ON and OFF again using the light
switch on the steering column.
Headlamp escort function
When you press the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ACC or OFF
position with the headlamps ON, the
headlamps (and/or tail lights) remain
ON for approximately 5 minutes.
However, when the driver’s door is
open and then closed, the head-
lamps are turned OFF after 15 sec-
onds.
The headlamps can be turned OFF
by pressing the lock button on the
Smart Key twice or turning the light
switch to the OFF or Auto position.
However, when you turn the light
switch to the Auto position, and when
it is dark outside, the headlamps will
not be turned OFF.
If the driver exit the vehicle
through other doors (except dri-
ver’s door), the battery saver func-
tion does not operate and the
headlamp escort function does
not turn OFF automatically.
Therefore, it discharges the bat-
tery. In this case, make sure to
turn OFF the lamp before exiting
the vehicle.
