turns off the parking lights when
the driver turns off the engine and

If you turn the Engine Start/Stop
Button to the ACC or OFF position
with the headlights ON, the head-

about 5 minutes. However, if the dri-
ver’s door is opened and closed, the
headlights are turned off after 15

the OFF or Auto position.
However, if you turn the light switch
to the Auto position when it is dark

through other doors (except driver's
door), the battery saver function
does not operate and the headlight
escort function does not turn off
automatically. Therefore, It causes
the battery to be discharged. In this
case, make sure to turn off the lamp
before getting out of the vehicle.
