■Daytime running light system

●Type A:

The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as the low beam

headlights and illuminate dimmer than the low beam headlights.

Type B:

The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as the parking

lights and illuminate brighter than the parking lights.

●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving,

the daytime running lights turn on automatically when all of the following

conditions are met. (The daytime running lights are not designed for use at

night.)

The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, even if the parking

brake is set again.

●For U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.

●Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system

offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve

fuel economy.

■Cornering lights (if equipped)

When the cornering lights are on for more than 30 minutes, they will turn off

automatically.

■Headlight control sensor

The sensor may not function properly if an

object is placed on the sensor, or anything

that blocks the sensor is affixed to the

windshield.

Doing so interferes with the sensor

detecting the level of ambient light and

may cause the automatic headlight sys-

tem to malfunction.
