Lamps On Reminder
You will hear a warning chime if you open the driver's
door while leaving the lamps on and the manual
headlamp or parklamp control is activated. An exception
to this is when you're using twilight sentinel, or if the
ignition is on.
Daytime Running Lamps
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.
The DRL system will make the high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:
the ignition is on,
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.
When the twilight sentinel switch is on and it's dark
enough outside, the high-beam headlamps (at reduced
intensity) will turn off and normal low-beam headlamp
operation will occur. When the twilight sentinel switch
is on and it's bright enough outside, the regular lamps
will go off, and the high-beam headlamps at reduced
brightness will take over.
If it's dark outside and the twilight sentinel control is
off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
display on the DIC. This message informs the driver tha
turning on the exterior lamps is recommended even
though the DRL are still illuminated. It has become dark
enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other
exterior lamps. Turning on the twilight sentinel or the
headlamp switch will deactivate the DRL and remove
the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message. If the
parking lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead,
the DRL will still deactivate and the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message will continue to be displayed.
