Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking
lamps after the windshield wipers are turned on. For
this feature to work, automatic lighting must be
enabled. See Headlamps on page 148 for
additional information.
When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated
headlamps will immediately turn off. They will
also turn off 15 seconds after the windshield wiper
control is turned off.
Headlamps on Reminder
If the driver’s door is opened with the ignition off
and the lamps on, a warning chime will sound.
This lets you know that the headlamps are still 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. DRL can be helpful in many different
driving conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn and before
sunset. Fully functional daytime running lamps
are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
Your vehicle has a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered
or the headlamps will come on when you do
not need them.
The DRL system will make the headlamps come
on at reduced intensity when the following
conditions are met:
• The ignition is on.
• The exterior lamp control is turned to AUTO.
• The light sensor detects daytime light.
• The shift lever is not in PARK (P).
While the DRL system is on, the taillamps,
sidemarker lamps, and instrument panel lights
will not be illuminated.
The DRL system will be off any time your
vehicle is in PARK (P). The DRL system on
U.S. vehicles can also be turned off by using
the off/on switch for one ignition cycle.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.
