The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) are in a
dedicated position below the headlight
assembly. DRLs are active when the low beams
are not on while the vehicle’s transmission is in
any position (automatic transmission), or when
the vehicle begins to move (manual
transmission).
NOTE:

For vehicles sold in Canada, the DRLs will
automatically deactivate when the front fog
lights are turned on.

On some vehicles, the Daytime Running
Lights may deactivate, or reduce intensity, on
one side of the vehicle (when a turn signal is
activated on that side), or on both sides of
the vehicle (when the hazard warning lights
are activated).

The High/Low Beam Switch is located within the
multifunction lever on the left side of the
steering wheel. High beam headlights can be
used for improved visibility in low lit areas when
there is no oncoming traffic. Otherwise, it is
recommended to use the low beam headlights
to reduce glare to other vehicles.
With the headlight switch activated, push the
multifunction lever toward the instrument panel
to switch the headlights to high beams. The
lever will return to the centered position. To
return the headlights to low beam, pull the lever
toward the steering wheel, or push the lever
toward the instrument panel.

The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
system provides increased forward lighting at
night by automatically controlling the high
beams through the use of a camera mounted
on the vehicle’s header. This camera detects
vehicle specific light and automatically switches
from high beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:

The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
can be turned on or off by selecting “ON”
under “Auto High Beam” within your

page 224, as well as
turning the headlight switch to the AUTO posi -
tion and placing the multifunction lever in the
high beam position.

Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and
taillights of vehicles in the field of view will
cause headlights to remain on longer (closer
to the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other
obstructions on the windshield or camera
lens will cause the system to function improp -
erly.
