Exterior Lamp Controls

The exterior lamp control is on the
instrument panel to the left of the
steering wheel.
There are four positions:
(Off) : Briefly turn the control to
this position to turn the automatic
headlamps and Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) off or back on.
For vehicles first sold in Canada,
the off position only works for
vehicles that are shifted into the
P (Park) position.
AUTO (Automatic) : Automatically
turns the exterior lamps on and off,
depending on outside lighting.
Lighting
(Parking Lamps) : Turns on the
parking lamps including all lamps,
except the headlamps.
(Headlamps) : Turns on the
headlamps together with the parking
lamps and instrument panel lights.
If the headlamps are turned on
while the vehicle is on, the
headlamps turn off automatically
10 minutes after the ignition is
turned off. If the headlamps are
turned on while the vehicle is off,
the headlamps will continue to stay
on. To prevent the battery from
being drained, turn the control to the
position.
A warning chime sounds if the driver
door is opened while the ignition
switch is off and the headlamps
are on.
To change the headlamps from low
beam to high beam, pull the turn
signal lever all the way toward you.
Then release it.
