■Daytime running light system
●Vehicles with a headlight high beam/daytime running lights: The daytime
running lights illuminate using the same lights as the headligh t high beam
and illuminate dimmer than the headlight high beam.
● To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during dayti me driving,
the daytime running lights turn on automatically when all of the following
conditions are met. (The daytime running lights are not designe d for use at
night.)
• The engine is running
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the , (type A only),
* (type B
and C) position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, eve n if the park-
ing brake is set again.
Type A and B: Daytime running lights can be turned off by opera ting the
switch.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running ligh t system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve
fuel economy.
■ Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
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.

Automatic High Beam
The Automatic High Beam uses a camera sensor located behind

turns the high beams on or off as necessary.
