lights, and illuminate dimmer than the headlight lights.
● To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving,
the daytime running lights turn on automatically when all of the following
conditions are met. (The daytime running lights are not designed for use at
night.)
• The hybrid system is operating
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the (Canada only), , or “AUTO”
*
position

The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, even if the park-
ing brake is set again.

● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve
fuel economy.

■ Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
■ Automatic light off system
When the headlights are on: The lights turn off 30 seconds after the power
switch is turned off and a door is opened and all of the doors are closed. (The
lights turn off immediately if on the key is pressed while all the doors
are locked.)
When only the tail lights are on: The lights turn off after the power switch is
turned off and the driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the power switch to ON mode, or turn th\
e light
switch off once, or turn the light switch to once, then turn it to or to
.
If any of the doors is kept open and the power switch off, the lights automati-
cally turn off after 20 minutes. 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.
