BEFORE DRIVING

To turn the lights on or off, twist the knob

on the end of the lever. There are four

positions:

OFF (1)

All lights are off.

AUTO (2)

This function works when the ignition

switch is turned "ON". The headlights and

position lights are turned on and off auto-

matically according to the amount of out-

side light detected by the sensor. They go

out automatically when you turn the igni-

tion switch to "ACC" or "LOCK" position.

The light sensor (5) for sensing the amount

of outside light is installed on the passen-

ger's seat side instrument panel.

When headlights are turned on and the

lighting control lever is in "AUTO" position,

you can use the high beam assist (if

equipped). For details, refer to "High beam

assist" in "OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE"

section.

A CAUTION

If the light sensor area of the wind-

shield is covered with mud, ice

1

or

other similar substances, the head-

lights and position lights may be

turned on even when it is still light

outside.

NOTE:

Avoid covering the light sensor area of

the windshield with a sticker. The sticker

may impair the performance of the sen-

sor and make the system unable to con-

trol operation of the lights correctly.

If you turned the ignition switch to "ON"

position and "AUTO" position remains

selected, the headlights and position

lights come on automatically as it gets

dark outside, even with the engine not

running. Leaving the lights lit for a long

time may lead to a completely dis-

charged battery.

Auto-on headlight system

78RB02093

The auto-on headlight system automati-

cally _turns on all lights that are operated by

the lighting control lever on the steering

column, when the following three condi-

tions are all met.

operation:

1) It is dark around the light sensor (5).

2) The lighting control lever is in "AUTO"

position.

3) The ignition switch is in the "ON" posi-

tion.

This. system is activated by a signal from

the light sensor (5) on the passenger side

of instrument panel. Do not cover the sen-

sor (5). Otherwise, the system will not work

correctly.

A WARNING

It takes about 5 seconds for the light

sensor to react to a change in light-

ing conditions. To help avoid an acci-

dent due to reduced visibility, turn on

your headlights before driving into a

tunnel, parking structure, etc.

The light sensor reacts even to infrared

rays, so it may operate incorrectly when

there are strong infrared rays.
