Headlamps on Reminder
A reminder tone sounds when the headlamps or
parking lamps are manually turned on, if the driver’s
door is open and the ignition is in LOCK/OFF or
ACC/ACCESSORY. To turn the tone off, turn the knob
all the way counterclockwise.
In the automatic mode, the headlamps turn off once the
ignition key is in LOCK/OFF.
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 will activate when the following conditions
are met:
• The ignition is on.
• The exterior lamps knob is in automatic
headlamp mode.
• The light sensor detects daytime light.
• The transmission is not in P (Park).
When DRL are on, either the turn signal lamps or
headlamps will be on. If the vehicle has the High
Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting system option, the
DRL system will turn on the turn signal lamps. If the
vehicle does not have HID, the DRL system will turn on
the headlamps at reduced brightness. The taillamps,
sidemarker, and the instrument panel lights will not be on.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps will
automatically switch from DRL to the regular headlamps.
Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the Automatic
Headlamp System turns on the headlamps when the
vehicle is started and after the transmission has
been shifted out of the P (Park) position. The
headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker, and parking lamps
will come on. The instrument panel lights and radio lights
will also turn on at normal brightness. Once on, the
system remains on during these conditions even if the
vehicle is shifted back into P (Park).
The vehicle has a light sensor on the top of the
instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor or the system
may come on whenever the ignition is on and the
vehicle is shifted out of the P (Park) position.
