WARNING
To avoid possible injury, do not operate controls by reaching through the steering wheel.
Lighting Operation
To turn the lights on or off, twist the knob on the end of the lever. There are three positions:
OFF (1)
All lights are off.
(2)
Front position lights, tail lights, license plate lights, and instrument lights are on, but the headlights are off.
(3)
Front position lights, tail lights, license plate lights, instrument lights, and headlights are on.
With the headlights on, push the lever forward 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.
Automatic Light Operation (if equipped)
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:
ON: Lights ON
LIGHT: When it is light around the light sensor (5).
DARK: When it is dark around the light sensor (5).

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 automatically according to the amount of outside light detected by a sensor. They go out automatically when you turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position. The light sensor (5) for sensing the amount of outside light is installed on the passenger’s seat side of the instrument panel.
CAUTION
If the light sensor area of the windshield is covered with mud, ice, or other similar substances, the headlights and position lights may be turned on even when it is still light outside.
NOTE
Avoid covering the light sensor area of the windshield with a sticker. The sticker may impair the performance of the sensor and make the system unable to control the operation of the lights correctly. If you turned the ignition switch to the “ON” position and the “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 discharged battery.
Front position lights, tail lights, license plate lights and instrument lights are on, but the headlights are off.
Front position lights, tail lights, license plate lights, instrument lights and headlights are on.
With the headlights on, push the lever forward 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.
Auto-on headlight system
The auto-on headlight system automatically turns on all lights that are operated by the lighting control lever on the steering column, when the following three conditions are all met.
Conditions for auto-on headlight system operation:
- It is dark around the light sensor (5).
- The lighting control lever is in the “AUTO” position.
- You turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
This system is activated by a signal from the light sensor (5) on the passenger’s seat side of the instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor (5). Otherwise, the system will not work correctly.
WARNING
It takes about 5 seconds for the light sensor to react to a change in lighting conditions. To help avoid an accident due to reduced visibility, turn on your headlights before driving into a tunnel, parking structure, etc.
NOTE:
The light sensor reacts even to infrared rays, so it may operate incorrectly when there are strong infrared rays.
Light Reminder Buzzer (if equipped)
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.
Daytime Running Light (D.R.L.) System (if equipped)
When the engine is started, the daytime running lights are turned on by this system.
Conditions for D.R.L. system operation:
- The engine is running.
- The headlights is off.
NOTE:
The brightness of the daytime running lights is different from the brightness of the position lights, but it is not a malfunction.
