Auto-on headlight system
78RB02093
The auto-on headlight system automati-
cally turns on all lights that are operated by
the lighting control lever on the steering
column, when the following three condi-
tions are all met.
Conditions for auto-on headlight system
operation:
1) It is dark around the light sensor (5).
2) The lighting control lever is in “AUTO”
position.
3) The ignition switch is in the “ON” posi-
tion.
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.
NOTE:
The light sensor reacts even to infrared
rays, so it may operate incorrectly when
there are strong infrared rays.
Light reminder buzzer
The interior buzzer continuously beeps if
you open the driver’s door without turning
off the headlights and position lights. This
function is triggered under the following
condition:
The headlights and/or position lights are
on even after the ignition switch is turned
off.
The buzzer stops sounding when you turn
off the headlights and position lights.
NOTE:
A message is indicated on the information
display in the instrument cluster while the
buzzer is sounding.
Daytime running light (D.R.L.) sys-
tem
When the engine is started, the daytime
running lights are turned on by this system.
Conditions for D.R.L. system operation
1) The engine is running.
2) Headlights and front fog light (if
equipped) are off.
NOTE:
Brightness of the daytime running lights is
different from the brightness of the position
lights, but it is not a malfunction.

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.
