Headlamps: Pulling the knob to the second position
turns on the headlamps, together with the previously
listed lamps and lights.

This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps
after the windshield wipers have been in use for
approximately 20 seconds.

-

activated headlamps, the

Twilight Sentinel

R

the way in poor weather and it also makes your vehicle
more visible to other drivers. If the wiper

turn off the Twilight Sentinel or if the windshield wipers
have been turned off for a period of one or two seconds.

If the exterior lamp knob is activated, you will hear a
warning chime if you open either door while leaving the

Twilight Sentinel.

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 high

-

beam headlamps

come on at reduced brightness when:
D The ignition is on,
D the exterior lamp knob is not in the 

headlamp position

D 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.
