■
Operating conditions of AUTO mode
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON
mode.
■ Daytime running light system
● To make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers during daytime driving, the
daytime running lights turn on automati-
cally (at an increased intensity) whenever
the engine is started and the parking
brake is released with the headlight
switch off or in the
position. (Illu-
minate brighter than the front position
lights.) Daytime running lights are not
designed for use at night.
● 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 wind-
shield. Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and may
cause the automatic headlight system to
malfunction.
