Features of your vehicle
LIGHTING
Battery saver function
• The purpose of this feature is to pre-
vent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lights when the
driver removes the ignition key (smart
key : turns off the engine) and opens
the driver-side door.
• With this feature, the parking lights will
be turned off automatically if the driver
parks on the side of road at night.
If necessary, to keep the lights on
when the ignition key is removed
(smart key : turns off the engine), per-
form the following:
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lights OFF and ON
again using the light switch on the
steering column.
Headlamp delay (if equipped)
If you turn the ignition switch to the ACC
or OFF position with the headlights ON,
the headlights remain on for about 20
minutes. However, if the driver’s door is
opened and closed, the headlights are
turned off after 30 seconds.
The headlights can be turned off by
pressing the lock button on the transmit-
ter (or smart key) twice or turning the
light switch to the OFF or Auto position.
However, if you turn the light switch to the
Auto position when it is dark outside, the
headlights will not be turned off.
Headlamp welcome function
(if equipped)
When the headlight switch is in the ON or
AUTO position and all doors (and trunk)
are closed and locked, if you press the
door unlock button on the transmitter (or
the smart key), the headlights will come
on for about 15 seconds. At this time, if
you press the door lock button on the
transmitter (or smart key) the headlights
will turn off immediately.
Daytime running light (if equipped)
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) can make
it easier for others to see the front of your
vehicle during the day. DRL can be help-
ful in many different driving conditions,
and it is especially helpful after dawn and
before sunset.
The DRL system turns OFF when:
1. The headlight are ON.
2. The parking brake is applied.
3. Engine stops.
CAUTION
If the driver gets out of the vehicle
through other doors (other than the
driver's door), the battery saver
function does not operate and the
headlamp delay does not turn off
automatically. This will cause the
battery to be discharged. In this
case, make sure to turn off the lamp
before getting out of the vehicle.
