If the light sensor area of the wind­shield is covered with mud, ice1 or other similar substances, the head­lights and position lights may be turned on even when it is still light outside.
NOTE: Avoid covering the light sensor area of the windshield with a sticker. The sticker may impair the performance of the sen­sor and make the system unable to con­trol operation of the lights correctly. If you turned the ignition switch to "ON" position and "AUTO" position remains selected, the headlights and position lights come on automatically as it gets dark outside, even with the engine not running. Leaving the lights lit for a long time may lead to a completely dis­charged battery.
