It turns off when:

AUTO headlight

OCN7050055

The headlights and parking lights are turned ON or OFF automatically depending on the amount of daylight as measured by the ambient light sensor (1) in front of the instrument panel.

Even with the AUTO headlight feature in operation, it is recommended to manually turn ON the headlights when driving at night or in a fog, driving in the rain, or when you enter dark areas, such as tunnels and parking facilities.

  • Do not cover or spill anything on the sensor (1) located in front of the instrument panel.

  • Do not clean the sensor using a window cleaner, the cleaner may leave a light film which could interfere with sensor operation.

  • If your vehicle has window tint or other types of metallic coating on the front windshield, the AUTO headlight system may not work properly.
