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

In order to operate the wiper

-

activated headlamps, the

Twilight Sentinel

R

 must be turned on. This feature

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

-

activated headlamps are on, and the ignition

switch is turned off, the wiper

-

activated headlamps will

immediately turn off.

The wiper

-

activated headlamps will deactivate if you

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

If the manual headlamp control is activated, you will
hear a warning chime if you open either door while
leaving the lamps on. An exception to this is when
you’re using 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 lights 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 headlamp switch is off and
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.
