Wiper
Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps
after the windshield wipers have been in use for
approximately
20
seconds.
In
order to operate the wiper activated headlamps, the
twilight sentinel must be in the on position.
This
feature
lights the way
in
poor weather and it
also
makes your
vehicle more visible to other drivers.
If
the wiper activated
headlamps
are
on, and the ignition switch is turned
off,
the
wiper activated headlamps will immediately
turn
off.
The wiper activated headlamps will deactivate if you
turn
off
the twilight sentinel or if the windshield wipers
have been turned off for a period of one or two seconds.
Lamps
on
Reminder
You will hear a warning chime if you open
any
door
while leaving the lamps
on,
if the manual headlamp
control is activated. An exception to this
is
when you’re
using twilight sentinel.
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.
The
DRL
system will make the low-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:
the ignition is
on,
the headlamp switch is
off
and
the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only your low-beam headlamps (at
reduced brightness) will be on.
No
other exterior lamps
such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on
when the
DRL
are being used. Your instrument panel
won’t be lit up either.
