CAUTION

  • Never place anything over the sensor (1) located on the instrument panel, as keeping the sensor unobstructed will ensure better auto-light system control.
  • Do not clean the sensor using a window cleaner as the cleaner may leave a light film which could interfere with the sensor's operation.
  • If your vehicle has window tint or other types of metallic coating on the front windshield, the Auto light system may not work properly.

    Battery saver function • The purpose of this feature is to prevent the battery from being discharged if the lights are left in the ON position.
