▼High Voltage Battery Power Gauge
The remaining power of the high
voltage battery is indicated when the
power switch is switched ON.
When the high voltage battery is fully
charged, F is indicated. As the level
lowers, the needle approaches E.
When the high voltage battery charge
decreases to 1/4 or lower, we
recommend charging the battery.

▼Headlights
Turn the headlight switch to turn the head
lights and other exterior lights on or off.
When the taillights, parking lights, and th e license plate lights are turned on, the
lights-on indicator light in th e instrument cluster turns on.
NOTE
Do not leave the headlights and exterior lights on while the EV system is turned
o ff. Otherwise, the battery power could be depleted.
Headlights do not blind drivers approaching in the opposite direction no matter
what side of the road you must drive yo ur vehicle (left-hand or right-hand traffic).
Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the optical axis of the headlights when
switching temporarily to driving on the opposite side of the road (left-hand or
right-hand tra ffic).

Auto-light control
When the power switch is switched ON, the light sensor detects the brightness of
the surrounding area and the headlights and the exterior lights turn on/off
automatically according to the surrounding brightness. When the power switch is
switched OFF, the headlights an d the exterior lights turn off automatically.
CAUTION
Do not shade the light sensor by adhering a sticker or a label on the windshield.
Otherwise the light sensor will not operate correctly.
The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control. If the wiper
lever is in the AUTO position with the power switch switched ON, the wipers may
operate automatically. Be careful not to pinch your hand or fingers. Otherwise, it
could cause injury or damage to the windshield wipers. When cleaning the
windshield (especially when removing snow or ice with the power switch switched
ON (EV system on)), make sure that the wiper switch is turned o ff. If the wipers
are operated, it could cause a problem wi th the windshield wiper or damage the
wiper blade.
NOTE
The headlights and other exte rior lights 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 cont inuously dark for several minutes such as
inside long tunnels, traffi c jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.
The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.
