2-3. Operating the lights and windshield wipers

Turning on the high beam headlights

With the headlights on, push
the lever forward to turn on the
high beams.

Pull the lever back to the center
position to turn the high beams
off.

Pull the lever toward you to
turn on the high beams.

Release to turn them off. You can
flash the high beams with the
headlights on or off.

Daytime running light system

To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on
automatically (at a reduced intensity) whenever the engine is started and
the parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for
use at night.

Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.

Headlight control sensor

The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing 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 con-
trol system to malfunction.
