Lamps on Reminder

If the driver's door is opened and you turn the ignition to
OFF or LOCK while leaving the lamps on, you will
hear a warning chime.
Daytime Running Lamps/Automatic
Headlamp System
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.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work, so be sure it isn't covered. The DRL
system will make your front parking and turn signal
lamps come on in daylight when:
•
The ignition is on.
•
The exterior lamps control is off.
•
The parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your front parking and turn
signal lamps will be on. Your instrument panel will
not be lit up.
