Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature, if equipped, will automatically activate the
headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield
wipers have been in use for about 30 seconds and when
all of the following conditions are met.
• The exterior lamp control is in AUTO.
• The headlamps have not already been activated by
automatic lighting.
• The automatic lighting feature has not been
disabled using the exterior lamp control.
See Exterior Lamps on page 3-15 for additional
information.
If the wipers are activated for over 30 seconds and the
exterior lamp control is in the parking lamps position,
or the automatic lighting feature has been disabled using
the exterior lamp control, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message will appear on the Driver Information Center,
if equipped.
Headlamps on Reminder
If you turn the ignition to LOCK while leaving the lamps
on, you will hear a warning chime once the driver’s
door is opened.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)/
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 is not covered. The DRL
system will make front parking and turn signal lamps
come on in daylight when the following conditions
are met:
• The ignition is on.
• The exterior lamps control is off.
When the DRL are on, only your front turn signal lamps
will be on. Your instrument panel will not be lit up.
