Driving
With the headlights on, push
the lever away from you to turn
on the high beams.
Pull the lever toward you to the
center position to turn the high
beams off.
Pull the lever toward you and
release it to flash the high
beams once.
You can flash the high beams with the headlights on or off.
■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving,
the front turn signal/parking lights (bulb type) or the parking lights (LED type)
turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and the parking brake
is released with the headlight switch in the “AUTO” (type A), “DRL” (type B)
or (type C) position. (Illuminate brighter than the front turn signal/
parking lights [bulb type] or the parking lights [LED type]). Daytime running
lights are not designed for use at night.
●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 (vehicles with an automatic light control sys-
tem)
Turning on the high beam headlights

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.
