Lamps on Reminder
A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp control
is left on in either the headlamp or parking lamp position
and the driver’s door is opened with the ignition off.
Daytime Running Lamps
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. Fully functional daytime running
lamps are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make the low-beam headlamps
come on at reduced intensity when the following
conditions are met:
•
It is still daylight and the ignition is on,
•
the exterior lamp control is in the off position and
•
the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps at
reduced brightness will be on. No other exterior lamps
such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on when
the DRL are being used. Your instrument panel won’t be
lit up either.
When the Twilight Sentinel
®
lever is on and it’s dark
enough outside, the high-beam headlamps at reduced
intensity will turn off and normal low-beam headlamp
operation will occur.
When the Twilight Sentinel
®
lever is on and it’s bright
enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and
the high-beam headlamps at reduced brightness will
take over. If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system will come on immediately.
Once you leave the garage, it will take approximately
one minute for the automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay,
your instrument panel cluster may not be as bright
as usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness
knob is in the full bright position. See “Instrument Panel
Brightness” under
Interior Lamps on page 3-19.
If it’s dark enough outside and the Twilight
Sentinel
®
lever is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message will display on the Driver’s Information Center
(DIC). This message informs the driver that turning
on the exterior lamps is recommended even though the
DRL are still illuminated.
Turning on the Twilight Sentinel
®
or the headlamps will
deactivate the DRL and remove the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message. If the parking lamps or the fog
lamps were turned on instead, the DRL will still deactivate
and the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
continue to be displayed.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off at night, turn off the
Twilight Sentinel
®
and shift the transaxle into PARK (P).
Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables the DRL.
The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P).
