Headlamps on Reminder

A reminder tone sounds when the headlamps or parking
lamps are manually turned on, if the driver's door is
open and the ignition is in LOCK or ACC. To turn the
tone off, turn the knob all the way counterclockwise.
In the automatic mode, the headlamps turn off once
the ignition key is in LOCK.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

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 will activate when the following conditions
are met:
•
The ignition is on.
•
The exterior lamps knob is in automatic
headlamp mode.
•
The light sensor detects daytime light.
•
The transmission is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, either your turn signal lamps or
headlamps will be on. If your vehicle is equipped with the
High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting system option, the
DRL system will turn on your turn signal lamps. If your
vehicle is not equipped with HID, the DRL system will turn
on your headlamps at reduced brightness. The taillamps,
sidemarker and other lamps won't be on. The instrument
panel won't be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps will
automatically switch from DRL to the regular headlamps.
