qHeadlights
Turn the headlight switch to turn the headlights, other exterior lights and instrument panel
illumination on or off.
NOTE
To prevent discharging the battery, do not leave the lights on while the engine is off
l
unless safety requires them.
Headlights do not blind drivers approaching in the opposite direction no matter what
l
side of the road you must drive your vehicle (left-hand or right-hand traffic).
Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the optical axis of the headlights when
switching temporarily to driving on the opposite side of the road (left-hand or right-
hand traffic).
