automatically turns the headlights, other

exterior lights and dashboard

illumination on or off.

Note:

They turn off when the parking brake is

engaged or the gear selector is shifted

to the PARK position (if equipped with

automatic transmission).

The headlights, other exterior lights

and dashboard lights may not turn off

immediately even if the surrounding

area becomes well-lit because the light

sensor determines that it is night time if

the surrounding area is continuously

dark for several minutes such as inside

long tunnels, traffic jams inside tunnels,

or in indoor parking lots. In this case,

the lights turn off if the light switch is

turned to the OFF position.

Note: Do not shade the light sensor by

placing a sticker or a label on the

windshield. Otherwise the light sensor

will not operate correctly.

Note: In some markets, the daytime

running lights can be deactivated. Refer

to “Settings” in “Multimedia” in your

User Guide for more information.

High Beams

The headlights can be switched

between high and low beams by

pushing the headlight switch lever

forward for high beams, and pulling the

lever rearward to return to low beams.

When the headlight switch is in the

AUTO position and the ignition is

cycled to ACC or OFF, the headlights,

other exterior lights and dashboard

illumination will turn off.

When the headlight high beams are on,

the high beam indicator is

illuminated in the instrument cluster.

05030101-12A-003

The dashboard lights can be

adjusted by rotating the knob in the

instrument cluster. The day/night mode

can be changed by rotating the knob

until a beep sound is heard.

Light Sensor

Flash To Pass

The light sensor also works as a rain

sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep

hands and scrapers clear of the

windshield when the wiper lever is in

the AUTO position and the ignition is

cycled ON, as fingers could be pinched

or the wipers and wiper blades

You can signal another vehicle with your

headlights by partially pulling the

headlight lever toward the steering

wheel. This will cause the high beam

headlights to turn on until the lever is

released.

The sensitivity of the automatic

lights may be changed by an

authorized dealer.

The

high beam indicator in the

instrument cluster illuminates while the

high beams are active.
