Turning on the high beam headlights  
With the headlights on, push  
1
the lever away from you to turn  
on the high beams.  
Pull the lever toward you to the  
center position to turn the high  
beams off.  
Pull the lever toward you and  
2
release it to flash the high  
beams once.  
You can flash the high beams with the headlights on or off.  
Daytime running light system  
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on  
automatically (at a reduced intensity) whenever the engine is started and  
the parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for  
use at night.  
For the 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.  
Headlight control sensor (if equipped)  
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.
