To turn on automatic lighting, turn the light switch to AUTO at any time. The lights will come on automatically when the outside light level becomes low (at dusk, for example). The lights on indicator comes on as a reminder. The lights and indicator will turn off automatically when the system senses high ambient light.

You can use the fog lights only when the headlights are on low beam. With the light switch in the AUTO position, you can also use the fog lights when the headlights turn on automatically. They will go off when the headlights turn off.
Daytime Running Lights With the headlight switch off, the high beam headlights come on with reduced brightness when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position and release the parking brake. They remain on until you turn the ignition switch off, even if you set the parking brake.
The headlights revert to normal operation when you turn them on with the switch.

Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
AFS Off Switch
Here are some operating characteristics of the AFS:
The system requires an initialization period. It does not begin to operate until you have driven the vehicle a short distance.
At a stop, the right headlight turns right when you turn the steering wheel to the right. But the left headlight does not turn left when you turn the steering wheel to the left. This prevents the left headlight from pointing at oncoming traffic.
AFS is turned off when the shift lever is in the R position.
AFS OFF SWITCH
This switch is at the right side of the left vent. Press it to turn the AFS on and off. When AFS is off, the AFS indicator comes on as a reminder when you turn on the headlights.
When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, the AFS is turned on if it was on previously.

Automatic Headlight Adjusting System The AFS works with the automatic headlight adjusting system to sense changes in vehicle height due to driving and loading conditions of passengers and luggage, and adjusts the vertical aim of the low beam headlights automatically to compensate for load.
If the headlights do not seem to be properly aimed, have the automatic headlight adjusting system inspected by your dealer.

Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system protects your vehicle from theft. If an improperly-coded key (or other device) is used, the engine will not start.
When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, the immobilizer system indicator should come on for a few seconds, then go out. If the indicator starts to blink, it means the system does not recognize the coding of the remote or built-in key. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position, release the ignition switch and push it, or remove the built-in key, and reinsert it. Then turn the switch to the ON (II) position again.
The system may not recognize your key’s coding if another immobilizer key or other metal object (i.e. key fob) is near the ignition switch when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.
If the system repeatedly does not recognize the coding of your remote or built-in key, contact your dealer.
Do not attempt to alter this system or add other devices to it. Electrical problems could result that may make your vehicle undrivable.
If you have lost your remote or built-in key and cannot start the engine, contact your dealer.
Always take the ignition key with you whenever you leave the vehicle alone.
