User Manual

There is a delay in the transition between the daytime
and nighttime operation of the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems,
so that driving under bridges or bright overhead street
lights does not affect the system. The DRL and
automatic headlamp system are only affected when the
light sensor sees a change in lighting lasting longer
than the delay.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system comes on after the transmission
is shifted out of P (Park). Once the vehicle leaves the
garage, it takes about one minute for the automatic
headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light outside.
During that delay, the instrument panel cluster might
not be as bright as usual. Make sure the instrument
panel brightness control is in the full bright position.
If the vehicle is running and the automatic headlamp
system is already on, it can be turned off by turning and
releasing the headlamp control at the off position.
The automatic headlamp system stays off until you turn
and release the headlamp control at the off position
again. See Headlamps on page 3-13.
Fog Lamps
The fog lamp button is located on the instrument panel
to the right of the exterior lamps knob. Use the fog
lamps for better vision in foggy or misty conditions.
The ignition must be in ON/RUN for the fog lamps
to work.
# : Press to turn the fog lamps on or off. An indicator
light turns on near the button while the fog lamps
are on. Fog lamps turn off whenever the high-beam
headlamps are on.
Some localities have laws that require the headlamps
to be on along with the fog lamps.
