Battery saver function  
When the headlight switch is in the ON or  
AUTO position and all doors (and tail-  
gate) are closed and locked, if you press  
the door unlock button on the transmitter  
(or smart key), the headlights will come  
on for about 15 seconds.  
If the headlight switch is in the AUTO  
position, the function can only operate at  
night.  
At this time, if you press the door lock  
button or unlock button (once or twice) on  
the transmitter (or smart key), the head-  
lights will turn off immediately.  
• The purpose of this feature is to pre-  
vent the battery from being discharged  
if the lights are left in the ON position.  
The system automatically shuts off the  
parking lights 30 seconds after the  
ignition key is removed and the driver’s  
door is opened and closed.  
• With this feature, the parking lights will  
turn off automatically if the driver parks  
on the side of the road at night and  
opens the driver’s side door.  
The headlights (and/or taillights) remain  
on for approximately 20 minutes after the  
ignition key is removed or turned to the  
ACC or LOCK position. However, if the  
driver’s door (and tailgate) is opened and  
closed, the headlights are turned off after  
30 seconds.  
The headlights can be turned off by  
pressing the lock button on the transmit-  
ter (or smart key) twice or turning off the  
light switch from the headlight or Auto  
light position.  
If necessary, to keep the parking lights  
on when the ignition key is removed,  
perform the following:  
CAUTION  
1) Open the driver-side door.  
If the driver gets out of the vehicle  
through other doors (except dri-  
ver's door), the battery saver func-  
tion does not operate and the head-  
light escort function does not turn  
off automatically.Therefore, It caus-  
es the battery to be discharged. In  
this case, make sure to turn off the  
lamp before getting out of the vehi-  
cle.  
2) Turn the parking lights OFF and ON  
again using the light switch on the  
steering column.
