Headlamps On Reminder
A tone will sound when your headlamps are turned
on
and your ignition
is
in
OFF,
LOCK or ACCESSORY.
If you need to use your headlamps when the ignition
switch is in OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY, the tone
can be turned off by turning the thumb wheel next to
the parking lamp/headlamp switch all the way down.
Daytime Running Lamps (If Equipped)
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 your headlamps come on at
a reduced brightness when:
0
The ignition is on,
0
The headlamp switch is off, and
0
The parking brake is released.
If your vehicle was first sold, when new, in Canada,
your headlamps will come on at reduced brightness.
If your vehicle was first sold, when new, in the United
States, your vehicle may be equipped with DRL. If your
vehicle has DRL, you will see the
the
DRL indicator
light
on
your instrument panel and your low-beam
headlamps will
come on
at reduced brightness.
When the DRL are on, only
your
headlamps will be
on.
The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won't be on.
Your instrument panel won't be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, your DRL indicator light is a
reminder to turn your headlamp switch on. The other lamps
that come on with your headlamps will also come on.
When you turn off the headlamp switch, the regular
lamps will go off, and your headlamps will change to
the reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the engine on and the DRL off,
set the parking brake. 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.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will come on when you open the doors.
You can also turn the dome lamps on by rotating the
thumb wheel, located next to the headlamp knob, all
the way up to the second notch. In this position, the
dome lamps will remain on whether the doors are
opened or closed.
