3-4. Switches and Controls
When the lights are turned on, the
lights-on indicator light in the com-
bination meter turns on.
■ Auto-light control (if equipped)
When the headlight switch is in the AUTO position and the ignition
is switched ON, the light sensor senses the surrounding lightness
or darkness and automatically turns the headlights, other exterior
lights and dashboard illumination on or off.
■Headlights
●If the light switch is left on, the lights will automatically switch off approxi-
mately 30 seconds after switching the ignition off.
The time setting can be changed.
Refer to Customizable Features on P. 555.
●To prevent discharging the battery, do not leave the lights on while the
engine is off unless safety requires them.
■Auto-light control
●The headlights, other exterior lights and dashboard illumination may not turn
off immediately even if the surrounding area becomes well-lit because the
light sensor determines that it is night time if the surrounding area is contin-
uously dark for several minutes such as inside long tunnels, traffic jams
inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.
In this case, the lights turn off if the light switch is turned to the OFF position.
●If the headlight switch and the windshield wiper switch are in AUTO, and the
wipers are operated at low or high speed by the auto wiper control for sev-
eral seconds, bad weather conditions are determined and the headlights
may be turned on.
●The dashboard illumination can be adjusted by rotating the knob in the
instrument cluster.
Also, the day/night mode can be changed by rotating the knob until a beep
sound is heard.
To adjust the brightness of the dashboard illumination:
Refer to Dashboard Illumination on P. 169.
●The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.
Refer to Customizable Features on P. 555.
