running lights are not designed for use at night.

turn off automatically if the power switch is turned off.
When the light switch is in : All lights turn off automatically if the power
switch is turned off.

switch off once and then back to or .
■ Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the power switch is turned off or turned to ACCES-
SORY mode and the driver's door is opened while the lights are turned on.
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the
windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.
