Ext
erior Lamp Controls
The exterior lamp control is on the instrument
pan
el to the left of the steering wheel.
There are four positions:
O : Briefly turn the control to this position to
turn the automatic headlamps and Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) off or back on.
For vehicles first sold in Canada, the off position
only works for vehicles that are shifted into the
P (Park) position.
AUTO: Automatically turns the exterior lamps
on and off, depending on outside lighting.
; : Turns on the parking lamps including all
lamps, except the headlamps.
2 : Turns on the headlamps together with the
pa
rking lamps and instrument panel lights.
If the headlamps are turned on while the
vehicle is on, the headlamps turn off
automatically 10 minutes after the ignition is
turned off. If the headlamps are turned on
while the vehicle is off, the headlamps will
continue to stay on. To prevent the battery
from being drained, turn the control to the O
position.
A warning chime sounds if the driver door is
opened while the ignition switch is off and the
headlamps are on.
Exterior Lamps Off Reminder
If a door is open, a reminder chime sounds when
the headlamps or parking lamps are manually
turned on and the key is out of the ignition. To
turn off the chime, turn the headlamp switch
to O or AUTO and then back on, or close and
re-open the door. In the auto mode, the
headlamps turn off once the ignition is off or
may remain on until the headlamp delay ends,
if enabled in the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See “Exit Lighting” under Vehicle
Personalization 386.
