When the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker

lamps, parking lamps, and instrument panel lights

will not be illuminated unless you have turned the

exterior lamps control to the parking lamp or headlamp

position.

The DRL system will remain off any time your vehicle is

in PARK (P) or the parking brake is engaged the ﬁrst

time the ignition is turned on.

As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular

headlamp system when you need it.

Automatic Headlamp System

When it is dark enough outside, your Automatic

Headlamp System will turn on your headlamps at the

normal brightness along with other lamps such as

the taillamps, sidemarker, parking lamps, and the

instrument panel lights. The radio lights will also be dim.

Your vehicle is equipped with a light sensor on the

top of the instrument panel under the defroster

grill. Make sure it is not covered, which will cause the

system to be on whenever the ignition is on.

The system may also be on when driving through a

parking garage, heavy overcast weather, or a tunnel.

This is normal.

If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic

headlamp system will come on immediately.

As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular

headlamps when you need them.

The headlamps can be set to come on at different

levels. The sensitivity can be adjusted to Early, Normal,

or Late. See Vehicle Personalization on page 2-32.

Leaving the headlamps and parking lamps on when the

engine is not running will eventually drain the battery.

To prevent the battery from draining, the headlamp and

parking lamps will switch off when the ignition has

been switched off and the driver’s door is opened,

because the vehicle senses that the driver has forgotten

to switch off the lights. The lights stay off until the

ignition is again switched on, or the lights are turned

back on manually by the headlamp switch. The

headlamps can be set to automatically switch off after

you have locked the vehicle and walked away. To set or

adjust the time delay from when the driver’s door is

opened to when the lights automatically switch off, see

Vehicle Personalization on page 2-32. If you wish to

have the lights on when leaving the vehicle, wait

until they have been automatically switched off, then

turn the light switch ﬁrst to off, then to parking lamps or

headlamps.
