Lamps on Reminder
You will hear a warning chime if you pull the key from
the ignition while leaving the lamps
on, if the manual
headlamp control is activated. An exception to this is
when you’re using twilight sentinel.
Daytime Running Lamps
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.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so be sure it isn’t covered.
The
DRL system will make the low-beam headlamps
come
on at reduced brightness when:
the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is off and
the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only the low-beam headlamps (at
reduced brightness) will be
on. No other exterior lamps
such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on
when the
DRL are being used. Your instrument panel
won’t be
lit up either.
When it’s dark enough outside, the low-beam
headlamps (at reduced intensity) will change
to normal
low-beam headlamp operation. When it’s bright enough
outside, the regular lamps will go
off, and the low-beam
headlamps change to the reduced brightness
of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, tum off the
twilight sentinel switch and shift the transaxle into
PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables
the DRL. The DRL will stay
off until you shift out of
PARK (P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn. They
provide more light for cornering.
Underhood Lamp
Turn the parking lamps on to operate the underhood
lamp. The underhood
lamp will come on when the hood
is open.
