Wiper-Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps
after the windshield wipers have been in use for
approximately six seconds. To operate, the Twilight
Sentinel@ feature must be turned on.
When the exterior lamp control is in the off or in the
parking lamp position and the wiper control is on INT,
LO or HI, the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
When the ignition is turned to OFF, the wiper-activated
headlamps will immediately turn off. The wiper-activated
headlamps will also turn off if the Twilight Sentinel@
or the windshield wipers are turned off.
Lamps On Reminder
A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp control
is left on in either the headlamp or parking lamp position
and the driver's door is opened with the ignition off.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the
day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short
periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully functional
daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles
first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make the high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when the following
conditions are met:
It is still daylight and the ignition is on,
the exterior lamp control is in the off position and
the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When DRL 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 DRL are being used. Your instrument
panel won't be lit up either.
When the Twilight Sentinel@ lever is on and it's dark
enough outside, the high-beam headlamps (at reduced
intensity) will turn off and normal low-beam headlamp
operation will occur.
When the Twilight Sentinel@ lever is on and it's brighr
enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and
the high-beam headlamps at reduced brightness will
take over.
