Wiper Activated Headlamps

This feature activates the headlamps and parking
lamps after the windshield wipers have been in use
for about six seconds. For this feature to work,
the exterior lamp control must be in AUTO.
When the exterior lamp control is off or in the parking
lamp position and the windshield wiper control is in
any position except off, the Headlamps Suggested
message will appear on the DIC display. See
"Headlamps Suggested Message" under DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-65 for more information.
When the ignition is turned to OFF, the wiper-activated
headlamps will immediately turn off. They will also
turn off if the windshield wiper control is turned off.

Headlamps 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.
See Lights On Reminder on page 3-50 for additional
information.
