When the following conditions are met, while the headlights (low beam) are on,
the cornering lights will additionally turn on and light up the direction of move-
ment for the vehicle. This is to ensure excellent visibility when either driving at
intersections or parking at night.
●The steering wheel is operated
●The turn signal lever is operated
●The shift lever is in R
However, when vehicle speed is 40 km/h (25 mph) or above, the cornering
lights do not turn on.
When the cornering lights ar e on for more than 30 minutes, they will automati-
cally turn off.
■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime
running lights turn on automatically (at an increased intensity) whenever the engine is
started and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch off or in the “AUTO”
position. (Illuminate brighter than the front parking lights.) Daytime running lights are
not designed for use at night.
Type A only: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.
●If a turn signal light is in use, the daytime running light, on the same side, is turned off.
For emergency flashers, both are turned off.
●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 come on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 seconds after a
door is opened and closed if the engine switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or
turned off. (The lights turn off immediately if on the key is pressed after all the doors
are locked.)
●When only the tail lights come on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the engine
switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or 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 .
Cornering lights (if equipped)
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 system to malfunction.

■Automatic headlight leveling system (if equipped)
The level of the headlights is automatically adjusted according to the number of passen-
gers and the loading condition of the vehicle to ensure that the headlights do not inter-
fere with other road users.
■Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the engine switch is turned off or turned to ACCESSORY mode
and the driver’s door is opened while the lights are turned on.
■Battery-saving function
In order to prevent the battery of the vehicle from discharging, if the headlights and/or tail
lights are on when the engine switch is turned off the battery saving function will operate
and automatically turn off all the lights afte r approximately 20 minutes. When the engine
switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode, the battery-saving function will be disabled.
When any of the following are performed, the battery-saving function is canceled once
and then reactivated. All the lights will turn off automatically 20 minutes after the bat-
tery-saving function has been reactivated:
