vent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lamp when the

when the engine is turned off, perform
the following:

switch or placed in the ACC position or

lamps ON, the headlamps (and/or
parking lamps) remain on for about 5
minutes. However, if the driver’s door
is opened and closed, the headlights
are turned off after 15 seconds.

ver's door is opened and closed, the
headlamps (and/or parking lamps) are
turned off after 15 seconds.
The headlamps (and/or parking lamps)
can be turned off by pressing the lock
button on the remote key or smart key
twice or turning the light switch to the
OFF or AUTO position. However, if you
turn the light switch to the AUTO posi-
tion when it is dark outside, the head-
lamps will not be turned off.

through other doors (except dri-
ver's door), the battery saver func-
tion does not operate and the
