Battery Saver Feature

• This feature is designed to prevent battery discharge if the headlights are left in the ON position. The system automatically turns off the parking lights 30 seconds after the key is removed from the ignition switch and the door is opened and closed.
• This feature automatically turns off the parking lights if, at night, the driver parks on the roadside and opens the driver's door. If you want the parking lights to remain on after the key is removed from the ignition switch, do the following: Open the driver's door. Turn off the parking lights and turn them on again using the light switch on the steering column.

Headlight Follow-Me Home Feature (if equipped)

If you turn the ignition key to the ACC or OFF position with the headlights in the ON position, the headlights remain on for approximately 30 minutes. However, if the driver's door is opened and closed, the headlights turn off after 15 seconds.

The headlights can be turned off by pressing the lock button on the transmitter (or smart key) twice or by turning the light switch to the OFF position.

CAUTION

If the driver exits the vehicle through any door other than the driver's door, the battery saving function does not operate and the headlight follow-me home function does not turn off automatically. This will discharge the battery. In this case, be sure to turn off the lights before exiting the vehicle.

Headlight Welcome Function (if equipped)

When the headlights (light switch in the HEADLIGHT or AUTO position) are on and all doors (and the tailgate) are locked and closed, the parking lights and headlights will turn on for 15 seconds if one of the following actions is performed.

• With smart key system: When the door unlock button on the smart key is pressed.

During this time, if the door lock button is pressed, the parking lights and headlights turn off immediately.

Daytime Running Light (if equipped)

The daytime running lights (DRL) help other drivers see your vehicle during the day. The DRL can be useful in various driving conditions and are especially useful after sunrise and before sunset.

Turn Signals and Lane Change Signals

The ignition key must be in the ON position for the turn signals to operate. To activate the turn signals, move the lever up or down (A). The green arrows on the instrument panel indicate which turn signal is operating. They cancel automatically after the turn is completed.

If the indicator continues to flash after turning, manually return the lever to the OFF position.

To signal a lane change, lightly move the turn signal lever and hold it in that position (B). The lever returns to the OFF position when released.

If the indicator continues to illuminate without flashing, or flashes abnormally, one of the turn signal bulbs may have burned out and need to be replaced.

To activate the one-touch lane change function, move the turn signal lever slightly for less than 0.7 seconds, then release it. The lane change signal will flash 3 times.

✽ NOTICE

If the indicator flashes abnormally fast or slow, a bulb may be burned out or there may be a poor electrical connection in the circuit.

To turn off the fog lights, turn the fog light switch (1) to the OFF position.

CAUTION

While operating, the fog lights consume a large amount of vehicle battery power. Turn on the fog lights only in conditions of poor visibility.
