3-4. Switches and Controls
When the lights are turned on, the
lights-on indicator light in the com-
bination meter turns on.
■Auto-light control (if equipped)
When  the headlight  switch is  in the AUTO  position and the ignition
is  switched  ON,  the  light  sensor  s enses  the  surrounding  lightness
or  darkness  and  automatically  turns  the  headlights,  other  exter ior
lights and dashboard illumination on or off.
■ Headlights
●If  the  light  switch  is  left  on,  the  lights  will  automatically  switch  off  approxi-
mately 30 seconds after switching the ignition off.
The time setting can be changed.
Refer to Customizable Features on P. 555.
● To  prevent  discharging  the  battery,  do  not  leave  the  lights  on  while  the
engine is off unless safety requires them.
■ Auto-light control
●The headlights, other exterior lights and dashboard illuminatio n may not turn
off  immediately  even  if  the  surrounding  area  becomes  well-lit  because  the
light sensor determines that it  is night time if the surrounding area is contin-
uously  dark  for  several  minutes  such  as  inside  long  tunnels,  tr affic  jams
inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots. 
In this case, the lights turn off if the light switch is turned  to the OFF position.
● If the headlight switch and the windshield wiper switch are in  AUTO, and the
wipers are operated at low or high speed by the auto wiper cont rol for sev-
eral  seconds,  bad  weather  conditions  are  determined  and  the  hea dlights
may be turned on.
● The  dashboard  illumination  can  be  adjusted  by  rotating  the  knob  in the
instrument cluster. 
Also, the day/night mode can be changed by rotating the knob un til a beep
sound is heard. 
To adjust the brightness of the dashboard illumination: 
Refer to Dashboard Illumination on P. 169.
● The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.
