Daytime running light system
●
The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as the parking lights and illu-

To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime
running lights turn on automatically when all of the following conditions are met. (The
daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.)
• The engine is running
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the
or “AUTO”* position

: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, even if the parking brake is
set again.

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.

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.
