The lights automatically turn off when the
driver's door is opened with the ignition
key in the "ACC" or "LOCK" position. To
turn them on again, turn the key to the
"ON" position or actuate the headlight
switch. If you are going to park for over
one week, make sure the headlight switch
is off.
To prevent the battery from being dis-
charged, do not leave the lights on
for a long period when the engine is
not running.

The headlights turn on at reduced intensi-

off.
To turn on the other exterior lights and
instrument panel lights, twist the knob to
the position 1.
Twist the knob to the position 2 to turn
the headlights to full intensity for driving
at night.
