Full the lamp control knob out to the first stop to turn

This feature activates the headlamps and parlung lamps
after the windshield wipers have been in use for
approximately 20 seconds.
In order to operate the wiper activated headlamps, the
twilight sentinel must be in the on position. This feature
lights the way in poor weather and it also makes your
vehicle more visible to other dnvers. If the wiper activated
headlamps are on, and the i,gpition switch is turned off,
the
wiper activated headlamps will immediately turn off.
The wiper activated headlamps will deactivate if you
turn OR the twilight sentinel or if the windshield
wipers have been turned off for a period of one or
two seconds.
You will hear a warning chime if you open either door
while leaving the lamps on, if
the
manual headlamp
control is activated. An exception to this is when you're
using twilight sentinel.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRE) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
D I U can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
The D I U system will make the high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:
the ignition is
on,
the headlamp switch is off and
the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When DRE are on, only your high-beam headlamps (at
reduced brightness) will be on. No other exterior lamps
such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on
when the DlRE are being used. Your instrument panel
won't
be
lit up either.
