NOTE:

Other than the above conditions, an “Japan Only” command is also displayed, however, do not select the command because it is for use other than in Japan.
If the mode is set to “Extra High (Except Japan)” and “High (Except Japan)”, the illumination level for illuminating the TNS and headlight increases. Therefore, the TNS and headlights illuminate when the ambient light is brighter than when the level is set to “Standard (Except Japan)”. In addition, if the mode is set to “Low (Except Japan)” and “Extra Low (Except Japan)”, the illumination level for illuminating the TNS and headlights decreases. Therefore, the TNS and headlights illuminate when the ambient light is lower than when the level is set to “Standard (Except Japan)”.
