1784-3. Operating the lights and wipers
4-3.Operating the lights and wipers
Operating the   switch turns  
on the lights as follows: 
1  The headlights, daytime  
running lights ( P.178) and all  
the lights listed below turn on 
and off automatically. 
2  The front position, tail,  
license plate and instrument  
panel lights turn on. 
3  The headlights and all the  
lights listed above turn on.
■AUTO mode can be used when 
The engine switch is in ON.
■Daytime running light system 
To make your vehicle more visible to  
other drivers during daytime driving, the  daytime running lights turn on automati- 
cally whenever the engine is started and  
the parking brake is released with the  
headlight switch in the   position.  
(Illuminate brighter than the front posi- 
tion lights.) Daytime running lights are  not designed for use at night.
■Headlight control sensor 
The sensor may not function properly if  an object is placed on the sensor, or  
anything that blo cks the sensor is  
affixed to the windshield. Doing so interferes with the sensor  
detecting the level of ambient light and 
may cause the autom atic headlight sys- tem to malfunction.
■Automatic light off system
●When the light switch is in   or  
: The headlights and front fog  
lights (if equipped) turn off automati- 
cally if the engine switch is turned to  ACC or OFF, and the driver’s door is  
opened.
●When the light switch is in  : The  
headlights and all lights turn off auto- 
matically if the engine switch is turned  to ACC or OFF, and the driver’s door  
is opened. 
To turn the lights on again, turn the  engine switch to ON, or turn the light  
switch off once and then back to   or  
.
■Light reminder buzzer 
A buzzer sounds when the engine  switch is turned to OFF or ACC and the  
driver’s door is opened while the lights

The headlights can be oper- 
ated manually or automatically.

are turned on.
■Battery-saving function 
In order to prevent the battery of the  vehicle from discharging, if the light  
switch is in the   or   position  
when the engine switch is turned off the  battery saving function will operate and  
automatically turn off all the lights after 
approximately 20 minutes. When the  engine switch is turned to ON, the bat- 
tery-saving function will be disabled.
When any of the following are per- formed, the battery-saving function is  
canceled once and then reactivated. All 
the lights will turn off automatically 20  minutes after the battery- saving func- 
tion has been reactivated:
●When the headlight switch is operated
●When a door is opened or closed
■Customization 
Some functions can be customized.  
( P.538)

2 Pull the lever toward you and  
release it to flash the high 
beams once.
You can flash the high beams with the  
headlights on or off.
This system allows the headlights  
to be turned on for 30 seconds 
when the engine switch is off. 
Pull the lever toward you and  
release it with the light switch in

of passengers and the loading con-
dition of the vehicle.

*: If equipped
1 Press the Automatic High Beam  
switch. 
2 Push the lever away from you  
with the headlight  switch in the  
 or   position.
The Automatic High Beam indicator will  
come on when the system is operating.
■Conditions to turn the high beams 
on/off automatically
●When all of the following conditions 
are met, the high beams will be turned  on automatically (after approximately  
1 second):
• The vehicle speed is approximately 40  km/h (25 mph) or more. 
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no vehicles ahead with  headlights or tail lights turned on. 
• There are few streetlights on the road 
ahead.
●If any of the following conditions are 
met, the high beams will turn off auto- matically: 
• The vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 30 km/h (19 mph). • The area ahead of the vehicle is not  
dark.
• Vehicles ahead have their headlights  or tail lights turned on. 
• There are many streetlights on the 
road ahead.
■Camera sensor detection informa-
tion
●The high beams may not be automati-
cally turned off in the following situa- tions: 
• When a vehicle suddenly appears 
from around a curve
AHB (Automatic High  
Beam)*
The Automatic High Beam  
uses a camera sensor located 
behind the upper portion of the 
windshield to assess the 
brightness of the lights of vehi-
cles ahead, streetlights, etc., 
and automatically turns the 
high beams on or off as neces-
sary.
WA R N I N G
■Limitations of the Automatic  High Beam 
Do not overly rely on the Automatic  
High Beam. Always drive safely, tak- ing care to observe  your surroundings  
and turning the high beams on or off 
manually if necessary.
■To prevent incorrect operation of 
the Automatic High Beam system 
Do not overload the vehicle.
Activating the Automatic  
High Beam 

1824-3. Operating the lights and wipers 
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by  
another vehicle • When vehicles ahead cannot be  
detected due to repeated curves, road 
dividers or roadside trees • When vehicles ahead appear in a far- 
away lane on a wide road
• When the lights of vehicles ahead are  not on
●The high beams may be turned off if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights  
without its headlights turned on is 
detected.
●House lights, streetlights, traffic sig-
nals, and illuminated billboards or  signs and other reflective objects may  
cause the high beams to change to 
the low beams, or the low beams to  remain on.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken for the high  
beams to turn on or off:
• The brightness of the headlights, fog  lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead 
• The movement and direction of vehi-
cles ahead • When a vehicle ahead only has oper- 
ational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a  two-wheeled vehicle 
• The condition of the road (gradient, 
curve, condition of the road surface,  etc.) 
• The number of passengers and 
amount of luggage in the vehicle
●The high beams may turn on or off 
unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar vehicles may not 
be detected.
●In the following sit uations the system  
may not be able to correctly detect the 
surrounding brightness level. This  may cause the low beams to remain  
on or the high beams to flash or daz-
zle pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In  such a case, it is necessary to manu- 
ally switch between the high and low 
beams. • When driving in inclement weather  
(heavy rain, snow, fog, sandstorms,  
etc.) 
• When the windshield is obscured by  fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc. 
• When the windshield is cracked or 
damaged • When the camera sensor is deformed  
or dirty
• When the temperature of the camera  sensor is extremely high 
• When the surrounding brightness 
level is equal to that of headlights, tail  lights or fog lights 
• When headlights or tail lights of vehi-
cles ahead are turned off, dirty, chang- ing color, or not aimed properly 
• When the vehicle is hit by water, 
snow, dust, etc. from a preceding  vehicle 
• When driving through an area of inter-
mittently changing brightness and  darkness 
• When frequently and repeatedly driv-
ing ascending/descending roads, or  roads with rough, bumpy or uneven  
surfaces (such as stone-paved roads, 
gravel roads, etc.) • When frequently and repeatedly tak- 
ing curves or driving on a winding 
road • When there is a highly reflective  
object ahead of the vehicle, such as a 
sign or mirror • When the back of a preceding vehicle  
is highly reflective, such as a con-
tainer on a truck • When the vehicle’s headlights are  
damaged or dirty, or are not aimed 
properly • When the vehicle is listing or titling  
due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed, 
etc. • When the headlights are changed  
between the high beams and low 
beams repeatedly in an abnormal 
manner • When the driver believes that the high  
beams may be flashing or dazzling 
pedestrians or other drivers
