AUTO (2)
This function works when or the engine
switch is pressed to change the ignition
mode to “ON”. The headlights and position
lights are turned on and off automatically
according to the amount of outside light
detected by a sensor. They go out auto-
matically when you change the ignition
mode to “ACC” or “LOCK” (OFF) by press-
ing the engine switch.
The light sensor (5) for sensing the amount
of outside light is installed on the passen-
ger’s seat side instrument panel.
NOTE:
• Avoid covering the light sensor area of
the windshield with a sticker. The sticker
may impair the performance of the sen-
sor and make the system unable to con-
trol operation of the lights correctly.
• If you changed the ignition mode to “ON”
by pressing the engine switch and
“AUTO” position remains selected, the
headlights and position lights come on
automatically as it gets dark outside,
even with the engine not running. Leav-
ing the lights lit for a long time may lead
to a completely discharged battery.
