LIGHTING

Battery saver function

• The purpose of this feature is to
prevent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lights when
the driver removes the ignition key
(Smart key : turns off the engine)
and opens the driver- side door.
• With this feature, the parking lights
will be turned off automatically if
the driver parks on the side of road
at night.
If necessary, to keep the lights on
when the ignition key is removed,
perform the following :
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lights OFF and
ON again using the light switch
on the steering column.

Headlamp delay function

(if equipped)
The headlamps (and/or taillights)
remain on for same minutes (5 min-
utes) after the ignition key is removed
or turned to the ACC or LOCK posi-
tion. However, if the driver's door is
opened and closed, the headlights
are turned off after 15 seconds.
The headlights can be turned off by
pressing the lock button on the trans-
mitter or smart key twice or turning
off the light switch from the headlight
or Auto light position.
You can activate or deactivate the
headlamp delay function. Refer to
"User setting" in this chapter.
CAUTION
If the driver gets out of the vehi-
cle through other doors (except
driver's door), the battery saver
function does not operate and
the headlamp delay function
does not turn off automatically.
Therefore, it causes the battery
to be discharged. In this case,
make sure to turn off the lamp
before getting out of the vehicle.
