▼Headlights
Turn the headlight switch to turn
the headlights and other exterior lights on or off.
When the lights are turned on, the lights-on indicator light in the instrument cluster turns on.

safety requires them.
•Headlights do not blind drivers approaching in the opposite direction no matter what side
of the road you must drive your vehicle (left- hand or right-hand traffic). Therefore, it is
not necessary to adjust the optical axis of the headlights when switching temporarily to
driving on the opposite side of the road (left-hand or right-hand traffic).

i-ELOOP*
The i-ELOOP system suppresses engine load used for generating power and improves
driveability and fuel economy by generating electricity with th e kinetic energy that is
generated when the vehicle slows down by applying the brakes or during engine braking.
Stores large amounts of electricity instantly and efficiently u ses the electricity for electrical
devices and accessories.

▼Inspecting Electrolyte Level
A low level of electrolyte fluid will cause
the battery to discharge quickly.

Upper level
Lower level
Inspect the electrolyte level at least once a
week. If it is low, re move the caps and add
enough distilled water to bring the level
between the upper and lower level
(illustration).

Do not overfill.
Examine the specific gravity of the
electrolyte with a hydrometer, especially
during cold weather. If it is low, recharge
the battery.
▼ Battery Recharging
NOTE
•Before performing maintenance or
recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the engine.
•To disconnect the battery, remove the
negative lead first. Install it last when
connecting the battery.
•Be sure to remove the caps before
recharging the battery.
•(With i-stop system)
Do not quick-charge the battery.
•If the battery quickly discharges
because, for example, the lights were
left on too long with the engine off,
slow-charge it as required by battery
size and charger capacity.
•If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while the
vehicle is being used, recharge it as
required by battery
size and charger
capacity.
