Daytime running light system (if equipped)

• Bulb type: To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch off or in the “AUTO” position. (illuminate dimmer than the headlights) Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.

  For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the headlight switch.

  LED type: To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch off. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.

  For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the headlight 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.

Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting the level of ambient light and may cause the automatic headlight system to malfunction.
