running lights turn on automatically whenev
er the engine is started and the parking
brake is released with the headlight switch off (type B only) or in the “AUTO” position.
(Illuminate brighter than the parking lights. ) Daytime running lights are not designed for
use at night.

object is placed on the sensor, or anything that
blocks the sensor is affixed to the windshield.

the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.

after the “AUTO” button is pressed.
■When the outside temperature exceeds 75 °F (24 °C) and the air conditioning system
