BEFORE DRIVING
56RH0-74E
This system is activated by a signal from
the light sensor (5) on the passenger side
of Instrument panel. Do not cover the sen-
sor (5). Otherwise, the system will not work
correctly.
Your vehicle’s lighting system is controlled
by two main systems: the lighting switch
and the auto-on headlight system (when
the lighting switch is in “AUTO” position).
The two systems work together to operate
your lights as shown in the following chart:
NOTE:
The light sensor reacts even to infrared
rays, so it may operate incorrectly when
there are strong infrared rays.
WARNING
It takes about 5 seconds for the light
sensor to react to a change in light-
ing conditions. To help avoid an acci-
dent due to reduced visibility, turn on
your headlights before driving into a
tunnel, parking structure, etc.
N: Lights ON
LIGHT: When it is light around the light sensor (5).
