ning lights illuminate using the
same lights as the low beam
headlights and illu minate dimmer
than the low beam headlights.
●Vehicles without projector head-
lights (type B): The daytime run-
ning lights illuminate using the
same lights as the parking lights
and illuminate brighter than the
parking lights.
●Vehicles with projector headlights:
The daytime runn ing lights illumi-
nate using the same lights as the

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 switch is in the

■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
on when the power switch is turned
to OFF, the battery saving function
will operate and au tomatically turn
off all the lights af ter approximately
20 minutes.
When any of the following are per-
