Headlights Reminder Light (Canada Only)
If your vehicle was first sold, when new, in Canada, this
light will
go on at night to remind you to turn on the
headlights.
Daytime Running Lights (Canada Only)
The Canadian Federal Government has decided that
“Daytime Running Lights” (DRL) are
a useful feature,
in that DRL can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours.
DRL are required on
new vehicles sold in Canada.
Your DRL work with
a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Don’t cover it up.
The high beam headlights will come on at reduced
brightness in daylight when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The parking brake is released.
At night, the headlights reminder light on the instrument
panel will come on to remind
you to turn on the
headlights. When
you turn on your headlights, the DRL
will switch
off and the exterior lights will come on.
When
you turn off the headlights, the exterior lights will
go out and the high beams will change to the reduced
brightness of DRL again. Of course, you may still turn on the headlights
or flash to pass any time you need to.

Courtesy Lights
When any door is opened, several lights go on. They
make it
easy for you to enter and leave the car. You also
can turn these lights on by rotating the interior light
control to
MAX.
The rear compartment lamp is also activated when the
doors are opened, the deck lid is opened
or when the
interior light control is rotated to
MAX.
Interior Lights Delay
On entry, the interior lights stay on, even after the door
is closed to give you time to find your keys
or controls.
The interior'lights go
off automatically when the
ignition is turned on, or after approximately
40 seconds.

40 second delay is disabled if the ignition has been
off less than
2 minutes. The interior lights will also go
on for
4 seconds if you pull on the door handle from the
inside trying to open a locked door.
