Wiper-Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the low-beam headlamps, parking
lamps, sidemarker lamps and taillamps after the
windshield wipers have been in use for about 20 seconds.
The wiper-activated headlamps light the way in poor
weather and also make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers. If the wipers are on and the ignition switch
is turned off, the headlamps will immediately turn off.
The headlamps will also deactivate if the windshield
wipers have been turned off for about 20 seconds.
Perimeter Lighting
This feature turns on the low-beam headlamps,
parking lamps, sidemarker lamps and taillamps for
about 20 seconds after the unlock button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter is pressed. Perimeter lighting
immediately ends when your vehicle's ignition is turned
to ON or START.
Lamps On Reminder
You will hear a warning chime if you open the door
while leaving the lamps on, if the manual headlamp
control is activated. An exception to this is when you're
using the twilight sentinel.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL)
can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DIU, can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will make the high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:
your vehicle's ignition is in ON or START,
the low-beam headlamps are off (the manual lamp
switch is in the off or park lamp position) and
your vehicle's transmission is shifted out of
PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only the 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 DRL are being used. The instrument panel
won't be lit up either.
When the twilight sentinel is on and it's dark enough
outside, the high-beam headlamps (at reduced intensity
will change to low-beam headlamps. When it's bright
enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and the
high-beam headlamps change to the reduced brightnes
of DRL.
