Push the bottom left switch to turn on the headlamps, as
well as all of the lamps just listed. Push the switch
marked with the “O” symbol to turn off your lamps.
A circuit breaker protects your headlamps. If you have
an electrical overload, your headlamps will flicker on
and off. Have your headlamp wiring checked right away
if this ever happens.
Instrument Panel Intensity Control
Move the thumbwheel, to the right of the off switch,
down to dim your instrument panel lights. Moving this
wheel up makes these lights brighter. Moving it all the
way up will make the interior lamp come on.
Headlamps On Reminder (If Equipped)
If you have this system, a tone alarm will sound when
your headlamps and/or parking lamps are turned on and
your ignition is in OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY.
Daytime Running Lamps (If Equipped)
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.
The high and low
-
beam headlamps will come on at
reduced brightness in daylight when:
D the ignition is on,
D the headlamp switch is off, and
D the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your low
-
beam headlamps
will be on. The exterior lamps won’t be on. Your
instrument panel won’t be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, your DRL indicator light
is a reminder to turn your headlamp switch on. The
other lamps that come on with your headlamps will
also come on.
When you turn the headlamp switch off, the regular
lamps will go off, and your low
-
beam headlamps will
change to the reduced brightness of DRL.
