When the light switch is in the AUTO light position, the taillights and headlights will turn ON or OFF automatically depending on the amount of outside light the auto light sensor receives.

CAUTION

  • Never put anything over the light sensor (1). This will impede operation of the autolight system control.
  • Do not clean the sensor using a window cleaner as the cleaner may leave a light film which could interfere with the sensor's operation.
  • If your vehicle has window tint or other types of metallic coating on the front windshield, the Auto light system may not work properly.

    Battery saver function The purpose of this feature is to prevent the battery from being discharged if the lights are left in the ON position. The system automatically shuts off the parking lights 30 seconds after the ignition key is removed and the driver’s door is opened and closed.
