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 high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:
the ignition
is
on,
0
the headlamp switch is
off
and
0
the transaxle is not in PARK
(P).
When DRL are on, only your high-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 high-beam
headlamps (at reduced intensity) will change to
low-beam headlamps. When it’s bright enough outside,
the regular lamps will go off, and the high-beam
headlamps change to the reduced brightness of DRL.
To
idle your vehicle with the DRL off, turn 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.
