BEFORE DRIVING

To turn the lights on or off, twist the knob

on the end of the lever. There are four

positions:

(4)

Front position lights, tail lights, license

plate light, instrument lights and headlights

are on.

CAUTION

If the light sensor area of the wind-

shield is covered with mud, ice, or

other similar substances, the head-

lights and position lights may be

turned on even when it is still light

outside.

OFF (1)

All lights are off.

EXAMPLE

AUTO (2)

This function works when the ignition

switch is turned to “ON” position or the

engine switch is pressed to change the

ignition mode to “ON”. The headlights and

position lights are turned on and off auto-

matically according to the amount of out-

side light detected by a sensor. They go

out automatically when you turn the igni-

tion switch to “ACC” or “LOCK” position or

change the ignition mode to “ACC” or

“LOCK” (OFF) by pressing the engine

switch.

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 or changed the ignition mode to

“ON” by pressing the engine switch and

“AUTO” position remains selected, the

headlights and position lights come on

automatically as it gets dark outside,

even with the engine not running. Leav-

ing the lights lit for a long time may lead

to a completely discharged battery.

68PM00230

With the headlights on, push the lever for-

ward to switch to the high beams (main

beams) or pull the lever toward you to

switch to the low beams. When the high

beams (main beams) are on, a light on the

instrument cluster will come on. To

momentarily activate the high beams (main

beams) as a passing signal, pull the lever

slightly toward you and release it when you

have completed the signal.

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.

Front position lights, tail lights, license

plate light and instrument lights are on, but

headlights are off.

BEFORE DRIVING

Light reminder buzzer

Auto-on headlight system

EXAMPLE

WARNING

The interior buzzer continuously beeps if

you open the driver’s door without turning

off the headlights and position lights. This

function is triggered under the following

condition:

The headlights and/or position lights are

on even after the ignition switch is turned

off, or the engine switch is pressed to

change the ignition mode to “LOCK”

(OFF).

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.

（）

NOTE:

The light sensor reacts even to infrared

rays, so it may operate incorrectly when

there are strong infrared rays.

The buzzer stops sounding when you turn

off the headlights and position lights.

52RM20200

NOTE:

The auto-on headlight system automati-

cally turns on all lights that are operated by

the lighting control lever on the steering

tions are all met.

A message is indicated on the information

display in the instrument cluster while the

buzzer is sounding.
