■Daytime running light system
●The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as  the front turn
signal/parking  lights,  and  illuminate  brighter  than  the  front  t urn  signal/park-
ing lights.
● 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 headlights switch is in “AUTO”* (type A and C) or the “DRL ” (type B)
position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, even if the parking
brake is set again.
● 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.

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.

• Vehicle speed is above approximately 21 mph (34 km/h).
• 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 fulfilled, the high beam  will be automat-

• Vehicle speed drops below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.

• When oncoming vehicles suddenly appear from a curve
• When the vehicle is cut off in front of by another vehicle
• When vehicles ahead are hidden from sight due to repeated curv es, road
dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear from the faraway lane on wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no lights
● The  high  beam  may  be  turned  off  if  a  vehicle  ahead  that  is  usin g  fog  lights
without using the headlights is detected.
● House lights, street lights, traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs
may cause  the high  beam  to switch to  the low  beams,  or the  low  beams  to
remain on.
● The  following  factors  may  affect  the  amount  of  time  taken  to  tu rn  the  high
beam on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of v ehicles 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  (gradient, curve, condition of the  r oad  surface,
etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of luggage

■Operation conditio ns of each function
● Lane departure alert function
This function operates when all of the following conditions are  met.
• LDA is turned on.
• Vehicle speed is approximately 32 mph (50 km/h) or more.
• System recognizes white (yellow) lines.
• Width of traffic lane is approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) or more.
• Turn signal lever is not operated.
• Vehicle is driven on a straight road or around a gentle curve  with a radius
of more than approximately 492 ft. (150 m).
• No system malfunctions are detected. ( P. 482)
● Vehicle sway warning function
This function operates when all of the following conditions are  met.
• Setting  for  “   warning”  in    screen  of  the multi-information  display  is set to on. ( P. 105)
• Vehicle speed is approximately 32 mph (50 km/h) or more.
• Width of traffic lane is approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) or more.
• No system malfunctions are detected. ( P. 482)
■ Temporary cancellation of functions
When  the  operation  conditions  are  no  longer  met, a  function  may  be  tempo-
rarily canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met  again, oper-
ation of the function is automatically restored. ( P. 262)
■ Lane departure alert function
The warning buzzer may be difficult to hear due to external noi se, audio play-
back, etc.
■ Vehicle sway warning function
Depending on the vehicle and road conditions, the warning may n ot operate.
■ White (yellow) lines are on ly on one side of road
The  LDA  system  will  not  operate  for  the  side  on  which  white  (ye llow)  lines
could not be recognized. When  the  system  determines  that  the
vehicle  is  swaying  while  the  vehicle  sway
warning  function  is  operating,  a  buzzer
sounds  and  a  warning  message  urging
the driver to rest and the symbol shown in
the  illustration  are  simultaneously  dis-
played on the multi-information display.
