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
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).

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 R switch is on and it's dark
enough outside, the high
intensity) will turn off and normal low
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
brightness will take over.
If it's dark outside and the Twilight Sentinel control is
off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
display on the Driver's Information Center (DIC). This
message informs the driver that turning on the exterior
lamps is recommended even though the DRL are still
illuminated. It has become dark enough outside to

message will continue to be displayed.
