Flash-to-Pass
This feature is used to signal to the vehicle
ahead that you want to pass.
Pull the turn signal lever toward you until
the high-beam headlamps come on, then
release the lever to turn them off.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day. Fully
functional DRL are required on all vehicles
first sold in Canada.
The DRL system makes the headlamps come
on when the following conditions are met:
.
The ignition is on.
.
The exterior lamp control is in the AUTO.
.
The vehicle is not parked.
.
The light sensor determines it is daytime.
When the DRL system is on, the taillamps,
sidemarker lamps, parking lamps, and
instrument panel lights do not come on
unless the exterior lamp control is turned to
the parking lamp or headlamp position.
The DRL system turns off when one of the
following conditions is met:
.
The ignition is off.
.
The vehicle is parked.
.
The high-beam headlamps are on.
.
The low-beam headlamps are on.
.
The light sensor determines it is
nighttime.
For vehicles first sold in Canada, the DRL can
only be turned off when the vehicle is
parked.
The regular headlamp system should be
used when needed.
Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside and the
exterior lamp control is in the automatic
position, the headlamps come on
automatically. See
.
The vehicle has a light sensor 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.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system comes on
immediately. If it is light outside when the
vehicle leaves the garage, there is a slight
delay before the automatic headlamp
system changes to the Daytime Running
Lamp (DRL). During that delay, the
instrument cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument panel
