Switches and Controls

▼ Headlights
Turn the headlight switch to turn the headlights and other exterior lights on or off.
When the tail lights, position lights, and the number plate lights are turned on, the lights-on
indicator light in the instrument cluster turns on.
NOTE
To prevent discharging the battery, do not leave the lights on while the engine is off unless

safety requires them.
Headlights do not blind drivers approaching in the opposite direction no matter what 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).
