On
Reminder
If you leave the manual headlamp or parking lamp
switch on, remove the key from the ignition and open
the driver’s door, you will hear a continuous warning
chime. The chime will turn
off
when the lamps are
turned off.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL)
can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel monitors
the exterior light level for the operation of DRL and
twilight sentinel,
so
be sure it isn’t covered.
The DRL system will make your high-beam headlamps
turn on at reduced brightness in daylight when:
The ignition
is
on,
0
The headlamp switch is
off
and
0
The transaxle is not in PARK
(P).
When the
DRL
are on, only your high-beam headlamps
will be on. The parking lamps, taillamps, sidemarker
and other lamps won’t be on. Your instrument panel
lights won’t be on either.
When it is dark enough outside, your low-beam
headlamps will come
on.
The other lamps that turn
on with your headlamps will also turn on. When it
is
bright enough outside, the regular lamps will go off,
and your high-beam headlamps change to the reduced
brightness of DRL.
To
turn
off all exterior lighting at night when you are
parked, turn off the headlamps and move the twilight
sentinel control all the way toward
MIN.
The exterior
lamps will turn back on automatically when you move
the transaxle out of PARK
(P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Cornering Lamps
(If
Equipped)
The cornering lamps are designed to turn on when you
signal a turn. This will provide more lighting when
cornering at night.
