6-4 Lighting

Daytime Running

Lamps (DRL)

If equipped, DRL can make it easier
for others to see the front of your
vehicle during the day.
A light sensor on top of the
instrument panel makes the DRL
work, so be sure it is not covered.
The DRL system makes the dipped
beam headlamps come on at a
reduced brightness or for vehicles
with High Intensity Discharge (HID)
headlamps, the DRL lights will come
on when the following conditions
are met:
The ignition is in the ON/
RUN mode.
The exterior lamp control is
in AUTO.
The engine is running.
The vehicle is not in P (Park).
When the DRL are on, only the
dipped beam headlamps, at a
reduced level of brightness, will be
on. The main beam headlamps, tail
lamps, sidemarker, instrument panel
and other lamps will not be on.
The headlamps automatically
change from DRL to the regular
headlamps depending on the
darkness of the surroundings. The
other lamps that come on with the
headlamps will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps go off and the DRL
come on.
To turn the DRL lamps off or on
again, turn the exterior lamp control
to the off position and then release.
This vehicle may have a DRL
disabling function. When the DRL
are on and an indicator is activated,
the DRL on that side will be off until
the indicator goes off.

Adaptive Forward

Lighting (AFL)

If equipped with uplevel headlamps,
the AFL adjusts the headlamps to
provide greater road illumination in
various driving conditions.
To enable AFL, set the exterior lamp
control to the AUTO position. To
disable, move the control out of
AUTO. AFL will operate when the
vehicle speed is greater than 3 km/h
(2 mph). AFL will not operate in
R (Reverse). The vehicle must be
driven a short distance for AFL to
operate. See Exterior Lamp
Controls on page 6-1.
Curve Lighting
The light beam pivots based on the
steering wheel position and vehicle
speed of at least 10 km/h (6 mph).
The headlamps shine at an angle of
up to 15 degrees to the right or left
of the direction of travel.
