Daytime running light system

■
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on
●
automatically whenever the engine is started and the parking brake is
released.
The brightness of headlights will automatically change depending on the
darkness of the surroundings. The other exterior lights and instrument
panel lights automatically turn on or off.
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.
