Features of your vehicle
CAUTION
• Never place anything over the sen‐
sor (1) located on the instrument
panel. This will ensure better au‐
to-light system control.
• Don't clean the sensor using a win‐
dow cleaner. The cleaner may
leave a light film which could inter‐
fere with sensor operation.
• If your vehicle has window tint or
other types of metallic coating on
the front windshield, the Auto
light system may not work prop‐
erly.

High beam operation
To turn on the high beam headlamp,
push the lever away from you. The lev‐
er will return to its original position.
The high beam indicator will light when
the headlight high beams are switched
on.
To prevent the battery from being dis‐
charged, do not leave the lights on for a
prolonged time while the engine is not
running.
WARNING
Do not use high beam when there
are other vehicles. Using high beam
could obstruct the other driver's vi‐
sion.
To flash the headlights, pull the lever
towards you. It will return to the nor‐
mal (low beam) position when released.
The headlight switch does not need to
be on to use this flashing feature.
