Daytime Running Lights

~1min read

The parking/daytime running lights come on when the following conditions have been met:

  • The ignition switch is in ON *1.
  • The headlight switch is off.
  • The parking brake is released.

The lights remain on even if you set the parking brake. Turning off the ignition switch or setting the power mode to VEHICLE OFF will turn off the daytime running lights.

The daytime running lights are off once the headlight switch is turned on, or when the headlight switch is in AUTO* and it is getting darker outside.

*1: Models with the smart entry system have an ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an ignition switch.

* Not available on all models

Fog Lights*

When the fog lights are on, the indicator in the instrument panel will be on.

They go off when the headlights turn off, or when the daytime running lights are on.
