BEFORE DRIVING

57L20-03E

To turn the lights on or off, twist the knob

on the end of the lever. There are four posi-

tions:

OFF (1)

All lights are off.

AUTO (2)

This function works when the ignition

mode has been changed to “ON” by press-

ing the engine switch. The headlights and

position lights are turned on and off auto-

matically according to the amount of out-

side light detected by a sensor. They go

out automatically when you change the

ignition mode to “ACC” or “LOCK” by

pressing the engine switch.

• The light sensor (5) for sensing the

amount of outside light is installed on the

upper part of the windshield. It also

serves as the rain sensor for the rain-

sensing wipers.

NOTE:

• Avoid covering the light sensor area of

the windshield with a sticker. The sticker

may impair the performance of the sen-

sor and make the system unable to con-

trol operation of the lights correctly.

• If you changed the ignition mode to “ON”

by pressing the engine switch and the

“AUTO” position remains selected, the

headlights and position lights come on

automatically as the outside gets dark

even with the engine not running. Leav-

ing the lights lit for a long time may lead

to a completely discharged battery.

 (3)

Front position lights, tail lights, license

plate light and instrument lights are on, but

headlights are off.

 (4)

Front position lights, tail lights, license

plate light, instrument lights and headlights

are on.

CAUTION

If the light sensor area of the wind-

shield is covered with mud, ice, or

other similar substances, the head-

lights and position lights may be

turned on even when it is still light

outside. Before removing such sub-

stances from the windshield, always

set the wiper control lever to the

“OFF” position. If the lever is left in

the “AUTO” position, the wipers

could unexpectedly operate and

cause injury, and could also be dam-

aged.
