When it begins to get dark, the automatic headlamp

system will switch from DRL to the headlamps.

When you turn the headlamp switch off, the headlamps

will go off, and your DRL lamps will illuminate,

provided it is not dark outside.

Shifting the transmission into PARK (P) will allow you to

idle the vehicle with the DRL off. The DRL will stay

off until you shift the transmission out of PARK (P).

This procedure applies only to vehicles ﬁrst sold in

the United States.

Automatic Headlamp System

When it is dark enough outside, your automatic

headlamp system will turn on your headlamps at the

normal brightness along with other lamps such as

the taillamps, sidemarker, parking lamps and the

instrument panel lights. The radio lights will also be dim.

To turn off the automatic headlamp system, turn the

exterior lamps switch to the off position and then

release. Turning off the automatic headlamp system

with the headlamp switch is not available for vehicles

ﬁrst sold in Canada. For vehicles ﬁrst sold in Canada,

you can turn off the automatic headlamp system

when parked at night by applying the parking brake

before starting your vehicle. The headlamps will remain

off once the vehicle is started for as long as you are

parked. If you release the parking brake, the lights will

turn on. If the parking brake is not released before you

begin to drive, the exterior lamps will turn on above

2 mph (3.2 km/h).

Your vehicle is equipped with a light sensor located on

the top of the instrument panel in the defroster grille.

Be sure it is not covered, or the system will be on

whenever the ignition is on.

The system may also turn on your 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 systems 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 sees 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 approximately

one minute for the automatic headlamp system to

change to DRL if it is bright enough outside. During that

delay, your instrument panel cluster may not be as

bright as usual. Make sure your instrument panel

brightness control is in the full bright position. See

Instrument Panel Brightness on page 3-18.
