When the DRL are on, only your reduced intensity
high-beam headlamps will be on. Your instrument panel
will not be lit up.
When it is dark enough outside, the exterior lamps
will come on automatically. When it is bright enough
outside, the exterior lamps will go out and the DRL will
turn on. Of course, you may still turn on the headlamps
any time you need to.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Automatic Headlamp System
When the exterior lamp control is turned to AUTO, and
it is dark enough outside, the headlamps and parking
lamps will, automatically, come on.
The lamps will also come on automatically if the
following conditions are met:
•
The ignition is in ON.
•
The parking brake is released.
Fog Lamps
The fog lamp button is
located on the exterior
lamp control.
Press the FOG PUSH button to turn the fog lamps on.
The FOG light, located next to the fog lamp button,
will come on to indicate when the fog lamps are on.
To turn off the fog lamps, press the fog lamp button
or turn the ignition off.
If you turn on the fog lamps while the DRL are on,
the parking lamps will turn on automatically.
Your fog lamps will go off when you switch to high
beams. When you return to low beam, the fog lamps
will come back on. Using your high beams in fog is
not recommended.
Some localities have laws that require the headlamps
to be on along with the fog lamps.
