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 25 mph (40 km/h) 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 during daytime driving, the daytime
running lights turn on automatically (at an increased intensity) whenever the engine is
started and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch off or in the “AUTO”
position. (Illuminate brighter than the front parking lights.) Daytime running lights are
not designed for use at night.
Type A only: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.
●
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.
●
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
Cornering lights (if equipped)
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.
