Daytime running light system
(Canada only)
The daytime running lights automatically
illuminate at a reduced intensity when the
engine is started with the parking brake
released. The daytime running lights op-
erate with the headlight switch in the OFF
position or in the
position. Turn the
headlight switch to the
position for
full illumination when driving at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the daytime running
lights do not illuminate. The daytime run-
ning lights illuminate once the parking
brake is released. The daytime running
lights will remain on until the ignition
switch is pushed to the LOCK position.
WARNING
When the daytime running light system is
active, tail lights on your vehicle are not on.
It is necessary at dusk to turn on your head-
lights. Failure to do so could cause an acci-
dent injuring yourself and others.
Adaptive Front lighting System
(AFS) (if so equipped)
The Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS)
will automatically adjust the headlights
(low beam) toward the turning direction to
improve the driver’s view. When the head-
light switch is ON and the driver operates
the steering wheel in a turn, the AFS sys-
tem will be activated.
The AFS will operate:
O when the headlight switch is ON.
O when the selector lever is in any posi-
tion other than P (Park) or R (Reverse).
O when the vehicle is driven at above 16
MPH (25 km/h) for the left-side head-
light. Note that the right-side low
beam headlight will swivel but the left
side will not swivel when the vehicle
is at a stop and the steering wheel is
turned. The vehicle must attain a
speed above 16 MPH (25 km/h) before
AFS activates the left-side headlight.
