the “AUTO” position. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
■ Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
Air conditioning operation may also be interrupted.

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.
