Automatic Headlamp System

When it is dark enough outside, the automatic headlamp

system will turn on after the transmission has been

shifted from PARK (P) to DRIVE (D). The headlamps,

taillamps, sidemarker, parking lamps, roof marker lamps,

and the instrument panel lights will turn on at normal

brightness. The radio lights will become more dim when

the headlights are off compared to when the headlights

are on.

Your vehicle has a light sensor located on the top of

the instrument panel. Be sure it is not covered, or

the system will be on whenever the ignition is on.

The system may also turn on the headlamps when

driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast

weather, or a tunnel. This is normal.

There is a delay in the transition between the daytime and

nighttime operation of the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

and the automatic headlamp system so that driving under

bridges or bright overhead street lights does not affect the

system. The DRL and automatic headlamp system will

only be affected when the light sensor detects a change

in lighting lasting longer than the delay.

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 about one minute for the

automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light

outside. During that delay, the instrument panel cluster

may not be as bright as usual. Make sure the instrument

panel brightness control is in the full bright position.

See Instrument Panel Brightness on page 3-17.

Fog Lamps

If your vehicle has fog lamps, you can use them for

better vision in foggy or misty conditions. Your parking

lamps and/or low-beam headlamps must be on for

your fog lamps to work.

The fog lamp button is

located near the exterior

lamps control.

Press the button to turn the fog lamps on while the

headlamps or parking lamps are on. Press the button

again to turn them off. An indicator light will glow in the

button when the fog lamps are on.

Remember, fog lamps alone will not give off as much

light as your headlamps. Never use your fog lamps

in the dark without turning on the headlamps.
