Safety Features and Equipment
PA1627 X3-45 Operator’s Manual
7-15
The daytime running lights system turns the
headlights on when:

Engine is running;

Parking brake is released;

The exterior lighting switch is set to the OFF
position or pressed to the first position.
WARNING
Do not drive with only the daytime running
lights at night because the tail and marker
lights are not turned on in that situation and
the high beams can blind other drivers. For
night driving, turn ON the headlights by
depressing the exterior lighting rocker switch
to the second position.
FOG LIGHTS
Optional halogen fog lights are available. They
provide better visibility in fog and precipitation.
They improve visibility immediately in front of the
vehicle. They also provide added safety.
NOTE
Some states or provinces may restrict the use
of fog lights. Verify local state or provincial
regulations before using.
COMPARTMENT LIGHTING
Baggage compartments and front service
compartment lights are automatically turned
ON
when the corresponding compartment door is
opened. A pictogram will appear on the status
bar of the Driver Information Display (DID) when
the baggage compartment door is open.
MUD FLAPS AND SPLASH GUARDS
Mud flaps are installed behind each front and
tag axle wheel in order to minimize dirt on the
lower panels of the vehicle and prevent stones
and debris from being thrown at vehicles
traveling behind the vehicle. Mud flaps are also
installed on front of each front axle wheel to
reduce water splash on rear-view mirrors.
Splash guards may be installed behind each
dual wheel of the drive axle to prevent stone
projectiles from being thrown at the tag axle
wheels.
BACK-UP CAMERA
An optional back-up camera is available which
provides the driver with visual assistance when
backing-up. The monitor may be mounted on the
left side pillar. It switches
ON automatically
when the transmission is in the reverse (R)
range.
BACK-UP ALARM
The back-up alarm alerts pedestrians and other
drivers when the vehicle is being backed-up.
Take extra precautions whenever backing-up. If
necessary, use a guide to provide directions
when backing-up. Both the alarm and optional
camera are automatically activated when the
transmission is put in the reverse (R) range.
