Flash-to-Pass

The flash to pass feature works with
the low beams or Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) on or off.
To flash the high beams, pull the
turn signal/lane change lever all the
way toward you, then release it.

Daytime Running

Lamps (DRL)

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day.
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 is not covered.
The DRL system will make the
low beam headlamps come on at a
reduced brightness or for vehicles
with High Intensity Discharge (HID)
headlamps, the dedicated DRL
lights will come on when the
following conditions are met:
The ignition is in the ON/RUN
position.
The exterior lamps control is in
AUTO, or has been briefly
turned to OFF to turn the
automatic light control on again.
The engine is running.
When the DRL are on, the
headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker,
instrument panel, and other lamps
will not be on.
The headlamps automatically
change from DRL to the regular
headlamps depending on the
darkness of the surroundings. The
other lamps that come on with the
headlamps will also come on.
Lighting
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps will go off and the
DRL will come on.
To turn the DRL off or on again, turn
the exterior lamps control to the off
position and then release. For
vehicles first sold in Canada, the
DRL cannot be turned off.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.

Automatic Headlamp

System

When it is dark enough outside and
the headlamp switch is in AUTO,
the automatic headlamp system will
turn on the headlamps at the normal
brightness along with other lamps
such as the taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, parking lamps, license plate
lamps, and the instrument panel
lights. The radio lights will also
be dim.
