With the headlights on, push
the lever away from you to turn
on the high beams.
Pull the lever toward you to the
center position to turn the high
beams off.
Pull the lever toward you and
release it to flash the high
beams once.
You can flash the high beams with the headlights on or off.
● When the steering wheel or turn signal lever is operated while the
headlights are on (low beam), a cornering light will turn on and light
up the direction of movement of the vehicle. The cornering lights
are designed to ensure excellent visibility when making a turn at an
intersection.
However, when vehicle speed is approximately 93 mph (150 km/h) or
higher, the cornering lights will not turn on.
● When the shift lever is in R while the headlights are on (low beam),
both cornering lights will turn on. This is designed to enhance visi-
bility when parking.

Daytime running light system
●
Type A:
The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as the low beam
headlights and illuminate dimmer than the low beam headlights.
Type B:
The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as the parking
lights and illuminate brighter than the parking lights.
●
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving,
the daytime running lights turn on automatically when all of the following
conditions are met. (The daytime running lights are not designed for use at
night.)
• The engine is running
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the
or
*
position
*
: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, even if the parking
brake is set again.
●
For U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.
●
Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve
fuel economy.
■
Cornering lights (if equipped)
When the cornering lights are on for more than 30 minutes, they will turn off
automatically.
■
Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the
windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

changing color, or not aimed properly
• When the vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc. from a preceding vehi-
cle
• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and
darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads, or
roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved
roads, gravel roads, etc.)
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a winding
road
• When there is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a
sign or mirror
• When the back of a preceding vehicle is highly reflective, such as a con-
tainer on a truck
• When the vehicle's headlights are damaged or dirty, or are not aimed
properly
• When the vehicle is listing or titling due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed,
etc.
• When the headlights are changed between the high beams and low
beams repeatedly in an abnormal manner
• When the driver believes that the high beams may be flashing or dazzling
pedestrians or other drivers

WARNING
■
When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in death or serious injury.
●
After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.
●
Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot
weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause injury.
●
Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their
body to come close to an open fuel tank.
●
Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
●
Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
●
Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.
■
When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
●
Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
●
Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.
●
Do not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
■
Refueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control
system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the
vehicle’s painted surface.
206
4-4. Refueling
Press the opener to open the
fuel filler door.
Turn the fuel tank cap slowly to
remove it and hang it on the
back of the fuel filler door.
After refueling, turn the fuel tank
cap until you hear a click. Once
the cap is released, it will turn
slightly in the opposite direction.
