- Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail, license plate and instrument panel lights automatically when it is dark.
- Turn off all the lights when it is light.
- Keep all the lights on for a period of time after you place the ignition switch in the OFF position and all doors are closed.

Autolight activation sensitivity and the time delay for autolight shutoff can be adjusted. For additional information, see “How to use the vehicle information display".
To turn on the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position 1 .
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.

To turn the autolight system off, turn the switch to the OFF, 1 or 2 position.
Be sure you do not put anything on top of the autolight sensorO1 located on the top side of the instrument panel. The autolight sensor controls the autolight; if it is covered, the autolight sensor reacts as if it is dark out and the headlights will illuminate. If this occurs while parked with the engine off and the ignition switch placed in the ON position, your vehicle's battery could become discharged.
Follow me home lighting (if so equipped)
The follow me home feature allows you to provide lighting from the vehicle after the ignition switch has been placed in the OFF position.

– When a light source similar to a headlight or tail light is in the vicinity of the vehicle.
– When the headlights of the oncoming vehicle or the leading vehicle are turned off, when the color of the light is affected due to foreign materials on the lights, or when the light beam is out of position.
– When there is a sudden, continuous change in brightness.
– When driving on a road that passes over rolling hills, or a road that has level differences.
– When driving on a road with many curves.
– When a sign or mirror-like surface is reflecting intense light towards the front of the vehicle.
– When the container, etc. being towed by a leading vehicle is reflecting intense light.
– When a headlight on your vehicle is damaged or dirty.
– When the vehicle is leaning at an angle due to a punctured tire, being towed, etc. - The timing of switching the low beam and high beam may change under the following situations.
– The brightness of the headlights of the oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle.

Manual headlight aiming control (if so equipped)
Depending on the number of occupants in the vehicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight axis may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is traveling on a hilly road, the headlights may directly hit the rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead or the windshield of the oncoming vehicle. The light axis can be lowered with the operation of the switch.
The larger the number designated on the switch, the lower the axis.
When traveling without a heavy load or on a flat road, select position 0.
Select the switch position by referring to the following sample.
