Lighting control

The light switch has a headlamp and a position lamp position.

To operate the lights, turn the knob at the end of the control lever to one of the following positions:

  1. OFF position

  2. Auto light position

  3. Position & Taillamp

  4. Headlamp position

Auto head lamp (OFF position)

The lights turn on or off depending on the amount of daylight detected from the sensor when the parking brake is not activated or vehicle speed is above 5 km/h (3 mph).

Activating the parking brake when the vehicle speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph) turns the headlamps off automatically by the amount of daylight detected from the sensor.

AUTO headlamp position

The parking lamp and headlamp will be turned ON or OFF automatically depending on the amount of daylight as measured by the ambient light sensor on the center dashboard.

NOTICE

Even with the AUTO headlamp feature in operation, it is recommended to manually turn ON the headlamps when driving at night or in a fog, driving in the rain, or when you enter dark areas, such as tunnels and parking facilities.

  • Do not cover or spill anything on the sensor located in front of the instrument panel.

  • Do not clean the sensor using a window cleaner, the cleanser may leave a light film which could interfere with sensor operation.

  • If your vehicle has window tint or other types of metallic coating on the front windshield, the AUTO headlamp system may not work properly.

The ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button must be in the ON position to turn on the headlamps.

Auto light (if equipped)

CAUTION

  • Never place anything over the sensor (1) located on the instrument panel as this will ensure better auto-light system control.
