Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on
automatically

is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.

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 control system to malfunction.

switch
OFF once and then back to theor
position.
Automatic headlight leveling system (vehicles with discharge headlights)
The level of the headlights is automatically adjusted according to the number

not interfere with other road users.
