Turn Signal - Push down on the left lever to signal a left turn and up to signal a right turn. To signal a lane change, push lightly on the lever and hold it. The lever will return to the center when you release it or complete a turn.
Headlights - Turning the switch to the ‘‘ =|= ’’ position turns on the parking lights, taillights, instrument panel lights, side-marker lights, and rear license plate lights.
Turning the switch to the ‘‘ =O’’ position turns on the headlights.
When the light switch is in either of these positions, the lights on indicator comes on as a reminder.
This indicator stays on if you leave the light switch on and turn the ignition switch to the ACCESSORY (I) or LOCK (0) position.
* : Models equipped with the keyless access system have an engine start/stop button instead of an ignition switch. VEHICLE OFF (LOCK) Mode is the equivalent of LOCK (0) and ACCESSORY Mode is the equivalent of ACCESSORY (I). For more information, see pages and .
If you leave the lights on with the key removed from the ignition switch, or with the power mode in VEHICLE OFF (LOCK), you will hear reminder beeps when you open the driver’s door.
High Beams - Push the left lever forward until you hear a click. The blue high beam indicator will come on (see page ). Pull the lever back to return to the low beams.
To flash the high beams, pull the lever back lightly, then release it. The high beams will stay on as long as you hold the lever back.
AUTO - The automatic lighting feature turns on the headlights and all other exterior lights when it senses low ambient light.
To turn on automatic lighting, turn the light switch to AUTO. The lights will come on automatically when the outside light level becomes low (at dusk, for example). The lights on indicator comes on as a reminder. The lights and indicator will turn off automatically when the system senses high ambient light.
On models without keyless access system
The lights will remain on when you turn off the ignition switch. They will turn off automatically when you remove the key and open the driver’s door. To turn them on again, either turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position or turn the light switch to the position.
On models with keyless access system
The lights will remain on when you set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF (LOCK). They will turn off automatically when you open the driver’s door and take the remote with you. To turn them on again, either set the power mode to ON or turn the light switch to the position.
On all models
Even with the automatic lighting feature turned on, we recommend that you turn on the lights manually when driving at night or in a dense fog, or when you enter dark areas such as long tunnels or parking facilities.
Do not leave the light switch in AUTO if you will not be driving the vehicle for an extended period (a week or more). You should also turn off the lights if you plan to leave the engine idling or off for a long time.
The automatic lighting feature is controlled by a sensor located on top of the dashboard. Do not cover this sensor or spill liquids on it.
Automatic Lighting Off Feature
The automatic lighting off feature turns off the headlights, all other exterior lights, and the instrument panel lights within 15 seconds after you remove the key and close the driver’s door, or on models with keyless access system, set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF (LOCK), take the remote with you, and close the driver’s door.
* : On models with keyless access system. Your vehicle has the engine start/stop button instead of an ignition switch. For more information on how to select the power mode.
If you remove the key (or the vehicle is in VEHICLE OFF mode on models with keyless access system), and the driver’s door is opened and closed, the automatic lighting off feature activates with the headlight switch in the ‘‘ ’’ or ‘‘ ’’ position, or the lights turned on by setting the switch in the ‘‘AUTO’’ position.
If you turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position with the headlight switch on, but do not open the door and get out, the lights turn off after 10 minutes (3 minutes, if the switch is in the ‘‘AUTO’’ position).
The lights will turn on again when you unlock or open the driver’s door. If you unlock the door, but do not open it within 15 seconds, the lights will go off. With the driver’s door open, you will hear a lights on reminder beeper.
*: Models equipped with the keyless access system have an engine start/stop button instead of an ignition switch. VEHICLE OFF (LOCK) Mode is the equivalent of LOCK (0). For more information.
Daytime Running Lights
With the headlight switch off or in the position, the high beam headlights and the high beam indicator come on with reduced brightness when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position and release the parking brake. They remain on until you turn the ignition switch off, even if you set the parking brake.
The headlights revert to normal operation when you turn them on with the switch.
*: Models equipped with the keyless access system have an engine start/stop button instead of an ignition switch. ON Mode is the equivalent of ON (II). For more information.
If you see a ‘‘CHECK DRL SYSTEM’’ message on the multiinformation display, there is a problem with the daytime running light system. Take your vehicle to a dealer to have it checked.
