about six seconds. For this feature to work, the exterior
lamp control must be in AUTO.

lamp position and the windshield wiper control is in any
position except off, the Headlamps Suggested message
will appear on the DIC display. See “Headlamps
Suggested Message” under DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-57 for more information.
When the ignition is turned to OFF, the wiper-activated
headlamps will immediately turn off. They will also
turn off if the windshield wiper control is turned off.
Headlamps on Reminder
A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp control
is left on in either the headlamp or parking lamp position
and the driver’s door is opened with the ignition off.
