To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the front turn signal
lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and the park-

night.

Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.

Automatic light off system
Opening the driver’s door with the engine switch in the ACC or LOCK posi-

To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to the ON position, or turn
the headlight switch off once and then back to the
or position.
NOTICE

To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not run-
