To idle your vehicle with the automatic headlamp

system

off,

set the parking brake while the ignition

off.

Then start your vehicle. The automatic headlamp

system will stay

off

until you release the parking brake.

You may be able to turn

off

your automatic headlamp

system. See “Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)” later

in this section for more information.

As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular

headlamps when you need them.

Lamps On Reminder

A reminder tone will sound when your headlamps or

parking lamps are manually turned on and your ignition

OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY. To disable the

tone, turn the instrument panel brightness thumbwheel

all the way down. In the automatic mode, the

headlamps turn off once the ignition key is in OFF.

Daytime Running Lamps

(DRL)

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 your headlamps come on

at a reduced brightness when the following conditions

are met:

The ignition is

on,

the exterior lamp control is

off.

the automatic transmission is not in PARK

(P),

the light sensor determines it is daytime and

the parking brake

released.

When the DRL are on, only your DRL lamps will be on.

The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won’t be on.

Your instrument panel won’t be lit up either.
