High Beams Push the lever
forward until you hear a click to turn
on the high beams. The blue high
beam indicator will come on (see
page 82 ). Pull the lever back to
return to the low beams.
To flash the high beams, pull the
lever back lightly, then release it.
The high beams will stay on as long
as you hold the lever back.
Daytime Running Lights
(For some types)
The daytime running lights come on
automatically when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. They go out automatically
when the light switch is ON.
On some models
AUTO The automatic lighting
feature turns on the headlights, all
other exterior lights, and the
instrument panel lights when it
senses low ambient light.
To turn on the automatic lighting,
turn the light switch to AUTO at any
time. The lights will come on
automatically when the outside light
level becomes low (at dusk, for
example). The lights on indicator
comes on as a reminder. The lights
and indicator turn off automatically
when the system senses high
ambient light.
The lights turn off automatically
when you turn the ignition switch to
the LOCK (0) position. To turn them
on again, either turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position, or
turn the light switch to position.
Headlights
Even with the automatic lighting
feature turned on, we recommend
that you turn on the lights manually
when driving at night or in a dense
fog, or when you enter dark areas
such as long tunnels or parking
facilities.
Do not leave the light switch in
AUTO if you will not be driving the
vehicle for an extended period (a
week or more). You should also turn
off the lights if you plan to leave the
engine idling or the engine off for a
long time.
If there is a problem with the control
system, you will see the symbol
'' ,'' or the symbol with a
''CHECK SYSTEM'' message in the
multi-information display. Have the
vehicle checked by your dealer as
soon as possible.
