Toyota RAV4 Owners Manual: Turning on the high beam headlights

the lever away from you to turn
on the high beams.
Pull the lever toward you to the center position to turn the high beams off.

Daytime running light system
- To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on automatically (at a reduced intensity) whenever the engine is started and the parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
- Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve fuel economy.

may cause the automatic headlight system
to malfunction.
