If vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system comes on immediately. 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 may not be as bright as usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness control is in the full bright
position. See Instrument Panel Brightness
on
page 412

To idle the vehicle with the automatic headlamp system
off, turn the ignition on and set the exterior light switch
to the off/on position. For vehicles first sold in Canada,
