position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles
with smart entry & start system).

release it with the light switch is in

engine switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion (vehicles without smart entry
& start system) or off (vehicles
with smart entry & start system).
Pull the lever toward you and
release it again to turn off the
lights.
■ Daytime running light system (if equipped)
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving, the
daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started
and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch in . (Illuminate
brighter than the front position lights.) The daytime running light system is not
designed for use at night.
■ Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
Extended Headlight Lighting system (if equipped)
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.
