Position Lights and Daytime Running
Lights (DRL)
The lighting system uses the same
high or low intensity headlamps LED,
respectively, for the DRL lights and
front position lights.
With the light switch turned in
the position lights will turn on when
the ignition device is in any position
and the engine is stopped or when
the engine is running and the twilight
sensor is in "NIGHT" mode.
The position lights are always on when
the light switch is set in the
position.
DRL lights will turn on when the
twilight sensor is in "DAY" mode, the
engine is running and the light switch
is in
or "AUTO" position.
NOTE:
If the headlights or position/DRL lights
are on after the ignition device is
placed in OFF position, a buzzer will
alert the driver while opening the
driver's door to exit the car.
If a turn signal is activated, the DRL
LED on the same side of the vehicle
will turn off for the duration of the
turn signal activation. Once the turn
signal is deactivated, the DRL LED will
light up again.
NOTE:
On Canadian vehicles DRL are always
on. On United States vehicles the DRL
lights can be turned on and off using
the MIA system, see "Functions of
Settings Menu on MIA" in section
"Dashboard Instruments and Controls"
,
for further information.

headlights on or off according to

rear view mirror. To turn the system
on, rotate the lights switch clockwise
to "AUTO" position.
When the automatic system is
activated, the headlight time delay
function is activated as well. This

To turn the automatic system off,
move the lights switch out of "AUTO"
position.
