Headlamps on Reminder
If you open the driver's door with the ignition off and the
lamps on, you will hear a warning chime.
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. Fully functional
daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles
first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make your low-beam headlamps
come on at a reduced brightness in daylight when
the following conditions are met:
•
The ignition is on,
•
the exterior lamp band is in the automatic position,
•
the transaxle is not in PARK (P),
•
the light sensor determines it is daytime, and
•
the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, the low-beam headlamps will be
on at a reduced brightness. The taillamps, sidemarker
and other lamps will not be on. The instrument panel will
not be lit up either.
When you turn the exterior lamp band to the headlamp
position, your low-beam headlamps will come on.
The other lamps that come on with your headlamps will
also come on.
When you turn off the headlamps, the regular lamps will
go off, and your low-beam headlamps will come on to
the reduced brightness.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, move the shift lever
to PARK (P). The DRL will stay off until you move the shift
lever out of PARK (P). To override the DRL on manual
transaxle vehicles, you must set the parking brake while
the ignition is off and then start your vehicle. The DRL will
stay off until you release the parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
