■Daytime running light system 
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during dayti me driving, the 
daytime  running  lights  turn  on  automatically  whenever  the  hybri d  system  is 
started and  the parking brake  is released with the  headlight  sw itch in  . 
(Illuminate  brighter  than  the  front  position  lights.)  Daytime  r unning  lights  are 
not designed for use at night. 
■ Headlight control sensor 
■ Automatic light off system  
● When  the  light  switch  is  in  or  :  The  headlights  and  front  fog 
lights (if equipped) turn off automatically if the power switch  is turned off. 
● When the light switch is in  : All lights turn off automatically if the power 
switch is turned off. 
To turn the lights on again, turn the power switch to ON mode,  or turn the light 
switch to   once and then back to  or .
■ Light reminder buzzer 
A buzzer sounds and a message appears when the power switch is  turned off 
or  turned  to ACCESSORY  mode  and  the  driver’s  door  is  opened  whi le  the 
lights are turned on. 
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.

SituationActions
When  the  area  around  a  camera  is 
covered  with  dirt,  moisture  (fogged 
up,  covered  with  condensation,  ice, 
etc.), or other foreign matter
Using  the  wiper  and  A/C  function,
remove  the  dirt  and  other  attached 
matter. (P. 551)
When  the  temperature  around  the 
front  camera  is  outside  of  the  opera- 
tional  range,  such  as  when  the  vehi- 
cle  is  in  the  sun  or  in  an  extremely
cold environment
If  the  front  camera  is  hot,  such  as
after  the  vehicle  had  been  parked  in 
the  sun,  use  the  air  conditioning  sys- 
tem  to  decrease  the  temperature
around the front camera. 
If  a  sunshade  was  used  when  the 
vehicle  was  parked,  depending  on  its
type,  the  sunlight  reflected  from  the 
surface  of  the  sunshade  may  cause 
the temperature of the front camera to
become excessively high.
If  the  front  camera  is  cold,  such  after
the  vehicle  is  parked  in  an  extremely
cold  environment,  use  the  air  condi- 
tioning  system  to  increase  the  tem- 
perature around the front camera.
The  area  in  front  of  the  front  camera
is obstructed, such as when the hood 
is  open  or  a  sticker  is  attached  to  the 
part  of  the  windshield  in  front  of  the
front camera.
Close  the  hood,  remove  the  sticker,
etc. to clear the obstruction.
When  “Pre-Collision System Radar in
self  calibration  Unavailable  See
owner’s manual.” is displayed.
Check  whether  there  is  attached
materials  on  the  radar  and  radar
cover, and if there is, remove it.
