2945-3. Operating the lights and wipers
parking lights and illuminate
brighter than the parking lights.
●To make your vehicle more visible
to other drivers during daytime
driving, the daytime running lights
turn on automatically when all of
the following conditions are met.
(The daytime running lights are
not designed for use at night.)
• The hybrid system is operating
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight s witch is in the
or position
• The surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain
on after they illumi nate, even if the
parking brake is set again.
●For the U.S.A.: Daytime running
lights can be turned off by operat-
ing the switch.
●Compared to turning on the head-
lights, the daytime running light
system offers gre ater durability
and consumes less electricity, so
it can help improve fuel economy.
■LED accessory lights (if
equipped)
To make your vehicle more visible
to other drivers during daytime driv-
ing, the LED accessory lights turn
on automatically when the parking
brake is released while the hybrid
system is operating.
When the parking lights are turned
on, the LED accessory lights dim.
■Headlight control sensor (if
equipped)
The sensor may not function prop-
erly if an object is placed on the sen-
sor, or anything that blocks the
sensor is affixed to the windshield.
Doing so interfere s with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light
and may cause the automatic head-
light system to malfunction.
■Automatic light off system
●When the headlights are on: The
lights turn off 30 s econds after the
power switch is turned to ACC or
OFF and a door is opened and
closed. (The lights turn off imme-
diately if on the key is
pressed after all the doors are
closed.)
●When only the tail lights are on:
The tail lights turn off automati-
cally if the power switch is turned
to ACC or OFF and the driver’s
door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the
power switch to ON, or turn the light
switch to the or position
once and then back to or
position.
■Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the power
switch is turned to ACC or OFF and
the driver’s door is opened while the
lights are turned on.
■Windshield wiper linked head-
light illumination (if equipped)
When driving during daytime with
the headlight switch turned to , if
the windshield wipers are used, the
headlights will turn o n automatically
after several se conds to help
enhance the visibility of your vehi-
cle.
■12-volt battery-saving function
In order to prevent the 12-volt bat-
tery of the vehicle from discharging,
if the headlights and/or tail lights are

by another vehicle
• When vehicles ahead are hidden from sight due to repeated curves,
road dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear from the faraway lane on a wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no lights
●The high beams may be turned off
if a vehicle ahead that is using fog
lights without using the headlights
is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic
signals, and illumi nated billboards
or signs may cause the high
beams to switch to the low beams,
or the low beams to remain on.
●The following factors may affect
the amount of time taken to turn
the high beams on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog
lights, and tail lig hts of vehicles
ahead
• The movement and direction of
vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has operational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two- wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradi-
ent, curve, condi tion of the road
surface etc.)
• The number of passengers and
amount of luggage
●The high beams may be turned on
or off when the driver does not
expect it.
●Bicycles or similar objects may not
be detected.
●In the situations shown below, the
system may not be able to accu-
rately detect surrounding bright-
ness levels. This may cause the
low beams to remain on or the
high beams to cause problems for
pedestrians, vehicles ahead or
other parties. In these cases,
manually switch between the high
and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, i
ce, dirt, etc.
• The windshield is cracked or dam- aged
• The front camera is deformed or dirty
• When the temperature of the front
camera is extremely high
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail
lights or fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of vehicles ahead are turned off,
dirty, changing 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
intermittently changing brightness
and darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly
driving ascending/descending
roads, or roads with rough, bumpy
or uneven surfaces (such as
stone-paved roads, gravel roads,
etc.)
• When frequently and repeatedly
taking curves or driving on a wind-
ing road
• There is a highly reflective object
ahead of the vehicle, such as a
sign or mirror
• The back of a vehicle ahead is
highly reflective, such as a con-
tainer on a truck
• The vehicle’s headlights are dam-
aged or dirty, or are not aimed
properly
• The vehicle is listing or titling due
to a flat tire, a trailer being towed,
etc.
• The high beams and low beams
are repeatedly being switched
between in an abnormal manner
• The driver believes that the high
beams may be causing problems
or distress to other drivers or
pedestrians nearby
■If “Headlight System Malfunc-
tion Visit Your Dealer” is dis-
played on the multi-information
display
The system may be malfunctioning.
