In order to prevent the vehicle battery from discharging, if the headlights and/or tail lights are on when the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned off (vehicles with a smart key system) the battery saving function will operate and automatically turn off all the lights after approximately 20 minutes.

When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system), the battery-saving function will be disabled.

When any of the following are performed, the battery-saving function is canceled once and then reactivated. All the lights will turn off automatically 20 minutes after the battery-saving function has been reactivated:
●When the headlight switch is operated
●When a door is opened or closed
