Lighting 5-3
When the DRL are on, only the
low
‐ beam headlamps, at a reduced
level of brightness, will be on. The
headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker,
instrument panel and other lamps
will not be on.
The headlamps automatically
change from DRL to the regular
headlamps depending on the
darkness of the surroundings. The
other lamps that come on with the
headlamps will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps go off and the DRL
come on.
To turn the DRL lamps off or on
again, turn the exterior lamps
control to the off position and then
release. For vehicles first sold in
Canada, the DRL lamps cannot be
turned off.
Automatic Headlamp
System
When it is dark enough outside and
the exterior lamps control is in the
automatic position, the headlamps
come on automatically. See
Exterior
Lamp Controls on page 5 ‑ 1 .
The vehicle has a light sensor
located on top of the instrument
panel. Make sure it is not covered,
or the headlamps will be on when
they are not needed.
The system may also turn on the
headlamps when driving through a
parking garage or tunnel.
Adaptive Forward
Lighting (AFL)
For vehicles with Xenon headlamps,
the Adaptive Forward Lighting
System (AFL) adjusts the
headlamps to provide greater road
illumination in various driving
conditions.
To enable AFL, set the exterior
lamp control to the AUTO position.
Moving the control out of the AUTO
position will deactivate the system.
AFL will operate when the vehicle
speed is greater than 3 km/h
(2 mph). AFL will not operate when
the transmission is in R (Reverse).
AFL is not immediately operable
after starting the vehicle; driving
a short distance is required to
calibrate the AFL. See
Exterior
Lamp Controls on page 5 ‑ 1 .
Curve Lighting
The Xenon light beam pivots based
on the steering wheel position and
vehicle speed of at least 10 km/h
(6 mph). The headlamps shine at an
angle of up to 15 degrees to the
right or left of the direction of travel.
Motorway Lighting
If the vehicle is traveling straight
continuously at high speeds, the
light beam automatically raises
slightly to increase the headlamp
range.
