This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the
windshield wipers have been in use

wiper activated headlamps
will immediately turn off.
The wiper activated headlamps will deactivate if you turn off the twilight
sentinel
or if the windshield wipers have been turned off for a period of
one or two seconds.

Daytime Running Lamps (Canada Only)
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.
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 when:
0 the ignition is on,
0 the headlamp switch is off, and
0 the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When it’s dark enough outside, your low beam headlamps will change to
full brightness. When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will go
off and your low beam headlamps change to the reduced brightness of
DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off shift the transaxle into PARK (P).
The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system
when you need it.
