BEFORE DRIVING
78RB1-01E
To turn the lights on or off, twist the knob
on the end of the lever. There are four
positions:
OFF (1)
All lights are off.
AUTO (2)
This function works when the ignition
switch is turned “ON”. The headlights and
position lights are turned on and off auto-
matically according to the amount of out-
side light detected by the sensor. They go
out automatically when you turn the igni-
tion switch to “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
The light sensor (5) for sensing the amount
of outside light is installed on the passen-
ger’s seat side instrument panel.
When headlights are turned on and the
lighting control lever is in “ AUTO ” position,
you can use the high beam assist (if
equipped). For details, refer to “High beam
assist” in “OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE”
section.
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 turned the ignition switch to “ON”
position and “AUTO” position remains
selected, the headlights and position
lights come on automatically as it gets
dark outside, even with the engine not
running. Leaving the lights lit for a long
time may lead to a completely dis-
charged battery.
(3)
Front position lights, tail lights, license
plate lights and instrument lights are on,
but headlights are off.
(4)
Front position lights, tail lights, license
plate lights, instrument lights and head-
lights are on.

With the headlights on, push the lever for-
ward to switch to the high beams (main
beams) or pull the lever toward you to
switch to the low beams. When the high
beams (main beams) are on, a light on the
instrument cluster will come on. To
momentarily activate the high beams (main
beams) as a passing signal, pull the lever
slightly toward you and release it when you
have completed the signal.
CAUTION
If the light sensor area of the wind-
shield is covered with mud, ice, or
other similar substances, the head-
lights and position lights may be
turned on even when it is still light
outside.
