NOTE: Bi-Xenon headlights (option): Turn the headlight switch to position 0 to activate a daylight sensor, which automatically switches the low beams on or off, depending on ambient light conditions. When driving in daylight, the headlights will switch off and the daytime running lights will come on. In darkness, the daytime running lights will switch off and the Bi-Xenon headlights will switch on. Parking lights When the switch is in this position, the front and rear parking lights, license plate lights, and instrument panel lighting will be on. The parking lights should be switched off when you leave the car to help avoid battery drain.
