Auto-On Headlight System Description (If Equipped): Notes

The auto-on headlight system is a system to control the automatic ON/OFF of headlight, clearance light and tail light, and adjust interior illumination optimally according to ambient brightness when lighting switch is in AUTO position.
BCM controls the operation of the auto-on headlight system based on light intensity signals from the rain/light sensor.

With the keyless push start system ignition mode "ON" and the lighting switch at "AUTO", BCM controls operation of the headlights, clearance lights and tail lights in the following patterns according to the outside light condition.

OUTSIDE LIGHT CONDITION REFERENCE

Lighting switch	Ignition mode	Outside light condition	Headlights	Clearance and tail lights
OFF	Any mode	Any condition	OFF	OFF
TAIL	Any mode	Any condition	OFF	ON

The auto-on/auto-off intensity of outside light is programmable for the following three options:
- Auto-on at higher outside light intensity than standard
- Auto-on at standard outside light intensity
- Auto-on at lower outside light intensity than standard
In addition to the outside light responding auto-on/auto-off operation, the auto-on headlight system can automatically turn on/off the headlights interlocked with the rain-sensing wiper system operation according to settings.
