Headlamp Control
The exterior lamps knob is located on
the instrument panel, to the left of the
steering wheel. The AUTO position acti-
vates the automatic headlamp system
that illuminates all exterior lamps and
the instrument panel/radio lights when
they are needed. The (parking light)
position manually illuminates the tail-
lamps and the instrument panel/radio
lights. The final position manually
activates the headlamps, all exterior
tail/marker lamps and the instrument
panel/radio lights.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
The DRL safety feature illuminates the
headlamps at a reduced intensity during
the day to make the front of the vehicle
more visible to others. This feature can
be of particular help in the short periods
just after dawn and shortly before sun-
set. The DRL illuminates only the head-
lamps — not the taillamps or side mark-
er lamps.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Note: DRL does not activate if the park-
ing brake is engaged prior to turning the
ignition key on. DRL operation resumes
when the parking brake is released.
Automatic Headlamp System
If the headlamp rotary knob is in the
AUTO position during daytime driving,
it may temporarily switch the headlamp
and interior light systems, including the
radio display, to the nighttime mode.
This occurs when passing through dark-
er conditions, such as under a bridge or
overpass, or inside a parking garage.
When you start the vehicle at night, the
automatic headlamps will come on
immediately. The light sensor is located
on top of the instrument panel. To
ensure proper system operation, avoid
placing objects or stickers on or near the
sensor.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Fog Lamps
The Fog Lamps
button is located in
the center of the
exterior lamps
switch that controls
the parking lamps
and headlamps.
To activate the fog
lamps, press the FOG PUSH button.
To turn them off, press the button again
or turn off the ignition. The fog lamps
automatically turn off when you activate
the headlamp high beams, and come
back on when the low beams are turned
back on. (Note: Use of high beams in
foggy conditions is not recommended.)
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
