Battery saver system
If the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position
while the headlight switch is in the
orposition, the headlights will turn off after
a period of time.
CAUTION
Even though the battery saver feature au-
tomatically turns off the headlights after a
period of time, you should turn the head-
light switch to the OFF position when the
engine is not running to avoid discharging
the vehicle battery.
LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS
(DRL)
The LED portion of the headlights automatically
illuminate at 100% intensity when the engine is
started and the parking brake is released. The
LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) operate with
the headlight switch in the OFF position. When
you turn the headlight switch to the
posi-
tion for full illumination, the LED lights switch from
LED DRL to the park function.
If the parking brake is applied before the engine is
started, the LED DRL do not illuminate. The LED
DRL illuminate when the parking brake is re-
leased. The LED DRL remain on until the ignition
is placed in the OFF position. It is necessary at dusk to turn the headlight switch
on for interior controls and switches to illuminate,
as those remain off while the switch is in the OFF
position.
WARNING
When the LED DRL system is active, tail
lights on your vehicle are not on. It is
necessary at dusk to turn on your head-
lights. Failure to do so could cause an
accident injuring yourself and others.

WARNING
●Never rely solely on the hill descent
control system to control vehicle speed
when driving on steep downhill grades.
Always drive carefully when using the
hill descent control system and deceler-
ate the vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal if necessary. Be especially
careful when driving on frozen, muddy
or extremely steep downhill roads. Fail-
ure to control vehicle speed may result
in a loss of control of the vehicle and
possible serious injury or death. ●
The hill descent control may not control
the vehicle speed on a hill under all load
or road conditions. Always be prepared
to depress the brake pedal to control
vehicle speed. Failure to do so may re-
sult in a collision or serious personal
injury.
CAUTION
When the hill descent control system op-
erates continuously for a long time, the
temperature of the brake pads may in-
crease and the hill descent control system
may be temporarily disabled (the indicator
light will blink) . If the indicator light does
not come on continuously after blinking,
stop using the system.
The HDC system is designed to reduce driver
workload when going down steep hills. The HDC
system helps to control vehicle speed so the
driver can concentrate on steering the vehicle.
To activate the HDC system: ● the 4WD switch must be in the LOCK posi-
tion and the vehicle speed must be under
15 mph (25 km/h)
● the hill descent control system switch must
be ON. The HDC system ON indicator light will come on
when the system is activated. Also, the stop/tail
lights illuminate while the hill descent control
system applies the brakes to control vehicle
speed.
If the accelerator or brake pedal is depressed
while the HDC system is on, the system will stop
operating temporarily. As soon as the accelerator
or brake pedal is released, the HDC system
begins to function again if the HDC operating
conditions are fulfilled.
The HDC system ON indicator light blinks if the
switch is on and all conditions for system activa-
tion are not met or if the system becomes disen-
gaged for any reason.
To turn off the HDC system, push the switch to
the OFF position.
For additional information, refer to “Hill descent
control system ON indicator light” in this section
and “Hill descent control system” in the “Starting
and driving” section of this manual.
