Daytime running light system

To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on

offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.

A buzzer sounds when the engine switch is turned OFF and the driver's door
is opened with the key removed from the engine switch while the lights are
turned on.

NOTICE

Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not run-
