The headlights (and/or tail lights) remain on for approximately 5 minutes after the ignition key is removed or turned to the ACC or LOCK position. However, if the driver's door is opened and closed, the headlights turn off after 15 seconds.

The headlamps 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 or AUTO position.

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

During this time, if you press the door lock button, the lamps will turn off immediately.
