Instrument Panel Intensity Control
Slide the upper lights control all the way up to increase
the brightness of the instrument panel lamps, down
to
decrease the brightness. Slide the control all the way
down to turn them off.
Daytime Running Lamps (Canada Only)
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.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work, so be sure it isn’t covered. The DRL system
will make your low beam headlamps come on at
reduced brightness in daylight when:
0 the ignition is on,
0 the headlamp switch is off, and
0 the parking brake is released.
When the
DRL are on, only your low beam headlamps
will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won’t be on. Your instrument panel won’t be lit up
either.
When it’s dark enough outside, the exterior lamps will
come on automatically and the low beams will change to
full brightness. When it’s bright enough outside, the
exterior lamps will go out and the low beams will
change to the reduced brightness
of DRL (if the
headlamp switch is
off). Of course, you may still turn on
the headlamps any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake while the ignition is in the OFF or LOCK
position. Then start the vehicle. The DRL will stay off
until you release the parking brake.
Lamps On Reminder
If you turn the ignition key to the OFF or LOCK
position while leaving the lamps on, you will hear a
warning chime.
