Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Your vehicle is designed so that the front
lights are always on when the ignition is
in the Run position. This safety feature
illuminates your headlamps at reduced
brightness during the daylight to make it
easier for others to see the front of your
vehicle. This can be especially helpful in
the short periods after dawn and before
sunset.
The DRL system does not turn on the
taillamps, sidemarkers, parking lamps,
or instrument panel lights.
The DRL system can be turned off
(while stationary) by setting the parking
brake before starting the vehicle. The
DRL system will come back on once the
parking brake is released.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Automatic Lamp Control
The Automatic Lamp Control
feature activates the headlamps at
reduced intensity when:
• The ignition is on
• The headlamps switch is off, and
• The gear shifter is not in Park.
When it's dark enough outside, the DRL
will turn off and the vehicle's full intensity
headlamps and parking lamps will
activate. When it's bright enough
outside, the full intensity lamps will go
off and the reduced intensity headlamps
(DRL) will come on.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Interior Lamps
To disable the interior lamps, press the
"Don't" symbol
on the interior lamps
override switch, located on the overhead
console switchbank. Press the top of
the switch to enable the interior lights to
illuminate when a door is opened.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
