the engine off and the key in the ON po-
sition, your vehicle’s battery could be-
come discharged.Headlight beam select

cally.
WARNING
∙ The High Beam Assist system is a con- venience but it is not a substitute for
safe driving operation. The driver
should remain alert at all times, en-
sure safe driving practices and switch
the high beams and low beam manu-
ally when necessary.
∙ The high beam or low beam may not switch automatically under the fol-
lowing conditions. Switch the high
beam and low beam manually.

NOTE:∙ Once activated, your heated steering
wheel will automatically turn on and
off to maintain a temperature above
68°F (20°C).
∙ When the temperature of the steering
wheel is above 122°F (50°C) and the

dicate a malfunction.
The dynamic driver assistance switch is
used to temporarily activate the Intelligent
Lane Intervention (I-LI) system that is en-
abled using the settings menu of the ve-
hicle information display.
The I-LI system can be turned on with the
dynamic driver assistance switch af ter
starting the engine.
The dynamic driver assistance switch illu-
minates for a few seconds when the igni-
tion switch is placed in the ON position. When the dynamic driver assistance
switch is turned off, the indicator
1on the

warning light and a chime, and helps assist
the driver to return the vehicle to the center
of the traveling lane by applying the brakes
to the lef t or right wheels individually (for a
short period of time). For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Intelligent Lane Interven-
tion (I-LI)” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
