■Daytime running light system
●Vehicles without a smart key sys-
tem :The daytime running lights
illuminate using the same lights as
the headlights and illuminate
darker than the headlights.
Vehicles with a smart key system
:The daytime runni ng lights illumi-
nate using the sa me lights as the
parking lights and illuminate darker
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 condi tions are met.
(The daytime running lights are
not designed for use at night.)
• The engine is running
• The parking brake is released

or
* position
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain
on after they illumi nate, even if the
parking brake is set again.
●Daytime running lights can be
turned off by operating the switch.
●Compared to turning on the head-
lights, the daytime running light
system offers gr eater durability
and consumes less electricity, so
it can help improve fuel economy.
■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 interferes with the sensor
detecting the level
of ambient light
and may cause t he automatic head-
light system to malfunction.
■Automatic light off system

headlights and tail lights turn off
30 seconds after the driver’s door
is opened and closed if the engine
switch is turned to ACC or OFF.

matically adjusted according to the
number of passengers and the load-
ing condition of the vehicle to
ensure that the headlights do not
interfere with o ther road users.
■Windshield wiper linked head-
light illumination (vehicles with
a headlight control sensor )
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.
■Battery-saving function
In order to prevent the battery of the

1804-3. Operating the lights and wipers
vehicle from discharging, if the
headlights and/or tail lights are on
when the engine switch is turned off
the battery saving function will oper-
ate and automatically turn off all the
lights after appr oximately 20 min-
utes. When the engine switch is
turned to ON, the battery-saving
function will be disabled.
When any of the fo llowing are per-
formed, the battery -saving function
is canceled once and then reacti-
vated. All the light s will turn off auto-
matically 20 minutes after the
Battery- saving function has been
reactivated:

■Automatic operating condi-
tions of the high beams
●When all of the following condi-
tions are met, the high beams will
illuminate automatically:
• The vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 21 mph (34 km/h) or more.

uses a front camera located
on the upper portion of the
windshield to detect the
brightness of the lights of
vehicles ahead, street-
lights, etc., and automati-
cally changes the head
lights between the high
beams and low beams.
WARNING

matic High Beam. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe your
surroundings and turning the high
beams on or off manually if nec-
essary.

High Beam System
When it is necessary to disable
the system: P. 1 9 2
Using the Automatic High
Beam system

1824-3. Operating the lights and wipers
• When another vehicle crosses in front of the vehicle
• When vehicles ahead are repeat-
edly detected and then hidden
due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees
• When a vehicle ahead approaches from a far lane
• When a vehicle ahead is far away
• When a vehicle ahead has no
lights
• When the lights of a vehicle ahead
are dim
• When a vehicle ahead is reflecting strong light, such as own head-
lights
• Situations in which the sensors may not operate properly: P. 1 9 6
●The headlights may change to the
low beams if a vehi cle ahead that
is using fog lights without its head-
lights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic
signals, and illumi nated billboards
or signs may cause the high
beams to change to the low
beams, or the low beams to
remain on.
●The following may change the tim-
ing at which the headlights
change to the low beams:
• The brightness of lights of vehi- cles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehicles ahead
• The distance betw een the vehicle
and a vehicle ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has lights illuminate d 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 headlights may change
between the high beams and low
beams unexpectedly.
●Bicycles and other small vehicles
may not be detected.
●In the following situations, the sys- tem may not be able to correctly
detect the brightness of the sur-
roundings. This may cause the
low beams to remain on or the
high beams to flash or dazzle
pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In
such a case, it
is necessary to
manually change between the
high beams and low beams.
• When there are lights similar to headlights or tail lights in the sur-
rounding area
• When headlights or tail lights of vehicles ahead are turned off,
dirty, changing color, or not aimed
properly
• When the headlights are repeat- edly changing between the high
beams and low beams.
• When use of the high beams is inappropriate or when the high
beams may be flashing or daz-
zling pedestrians or other drivers.
• When the vehicl e is used in an
area in which vehicles travel on
the opposite side of the road of
the country for which the vehicle
was designed, for example using
a vehicle designed for right-hand
traffic in a left-ha nd traffic area, or
vice versa
• When it is necessary to disable the system: P. 1 9 2
