Cornering lights (if equipped)

When the following conditions are met, while the headlights (low beam) are on,
the cornering lights will additionally turn on and light up the direction of move-
ment for the vehicle. This is to ensure excellent visibility when either driving at
intersections or parking at night.
The steering wheel is operated
●
The turn signal lever is operated
●
The shift lever is in R
●
However, when vehicle speed is 40 km/h (25 mph) or above, the cornering
lights do not turn on.
When the cornering lights are on for more than 30 minutes, they will automati-
cally turn off.

Daytime running light system

■
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the front parking lights turn on auto-
●
matically (at an increased intensity) whenever the engine is started and the parking
brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
Type A only: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the headlight switch
to "DRL OFF" position.
If a turn signal light is in use, the daytime running light, on the same side, is turned off.
●
For emergency flashers, both are turned off.

Headlight control sensor

■
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything that
blocks the sensor is affixed to the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.

Automatic light off system

■
When the headlights come on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 seconds after a
●
door is opened and closed if the engine switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or
turned off. (The lights turn off immediately if
are locked.)
When only the tail lights come on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the engine
●
switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off and the driver' s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode, or turn the
light switch off once and then back to
