When any door is opened, several lamps go on. They
make it easy for you to enter and leave the car. You also
can turn these lamps on by sliding the panel lamps
switch to INT (Interior).
Daytime Running Lamps (Canada Only)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) make it easier 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.
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 low beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness in daylight when:
0
The ignition is on,
0
The headlamp switch is off', and
0
The transaxle is not in PARK (P)
When the DRL are on, only your low-beam headlamps
will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won't be on. Your instrument panel won't be lighted
either.
When it is dark enough outside, your low-beam
headlamps will change to full brightness. The other
lamps that come on with your headlamps will come
on.
When it
is
bright enough outside, the regular lamps will
go off, and your low-beam headlamps change to the
reduced brightness of DRL.
At night you can turn off all exterior lamps when you
are in PARK (P) by pressing the headlamps switch. If
the lamps were off, turn them on and then off again. The
DRL will come back on when you move the transaxle
out of PARK (P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system any time you need it.
