Headlamps on Reminder
If a door is open, a reminder chime sounds when the
headlamps or parking lamps are manually turned on
and the key is out of the ignition. To turn off the chime,
turn the headlamp switch to off and then back on. In the
automatic mode, the headlamps turn off once the
ignition is in LOCK/OFF.
For vehicles first sold in Canada, if the parking lamps
are turned on manually, the Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL) will stay on.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on
all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will come on when the following
conditions are met:
.
The ignition is on.
.
The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
.
The transmission is not in P (Park) if you have an
automatic transmission.
.
The light sensor determines it is daytime.
When the DRL are on, only the parking lamps or
reduced intensity low beam headlamps will be on. The
taillamps, sidemarkers, and other lamps will not be on.
The instrument panel will not be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps will
automatically switch from DRL to the regular
headlamps.
The regular headlamp system should be turned on
when needed.
