-Activated Headlamps
This feature turns on the headlamps and parking lamps
after the windshield wipers have been in use for
approximately six seconds.
To operate the wiper
-activated headlamps, the Twilight
Sentinel must be on. If the wiper-activated headlamps
are on and the ignition key is turned to ACC, the
wiper

2-44
The wiper-activated headlamps will turn off if you turn
off the Twilight Sentinel or the windshield wipers. If
turned off by deactivating the Twilight Sentinel, a
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will be
displayed on the Driver's Information Center (DIC).
Lamps On Reminder
You will hear a warning chime if you open the driver's
door while leaving the lamps on and the exterior lamps
control is activated. An exception to this is when you're
using Twilight Sentinel or if the ignition is on.
Daytime Running Lamps
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.
The DRL system will make the high
-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:

the ignition is on,

the headlamp switch is off and

the transaxle is not in PARK (P).When DRL are on, only your high
-beam headlamps (at
reduced brightness) will be on. No other exterior lamps
such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on
when the DRL are being used. Your instrument panel
won't be lit up either.
When the Twilight Sentinel
 switch is on and it's dark
enough outside, the high
-beam headlamps (at reduced
intensity) will turn off and normal low
-beam headlamp
operation will occur. When the Twilight Sentinel switch
is on and it's bright enough outside, the regular lamps
will go off, and the high
-beam headlamps at reduced
brightness will take over.
If it's dark outside and the Twilight Sentinel control is
off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
display on the Driver's Information Center (DIC). This
message informs the driver that turning on the exterior
lamps is recommended even though the DRL are still
illuminated. It has become dark enough outside to
require the headlamps and/or other exterior lamps.
Turning on the Twilight Sentinel or the headlamps will
deactivate the DRL and remove the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message. If the parking lamps or the fog
lamps were turned on instead, the DRL will still
deactivate and the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message will continue to be displayed.

2-45
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
Twilight Sentinel and shift the transaxle into PARK (P).
Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables the DRL.
The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P).
To drive your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off
the Twilight Sentinel and manually turn on the
parking lamps.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps (STS Only)
Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions. When you push the fog lamp button located
next to the exterior lamps control, a small indicator light
and the LIGHTS ON and fog lamp telltales on the
instrument panel cluster will tell you that the fog lamps
and the parking lamps are on. Pushing the fog lamp
button again will turn them off.
If you turn on the high
-beam headlamps, the fog lamps
will turn off. They'll turn back on again when you
change to low
-beam headlamps. You can use the fog
lamp button to turn the fog lamps on or off when the
parking lamps or headlamps are on.When the Twilight Sentinel

is on and the fog lamps are
turned on, the fog lamps, headlamps and parking lamps
will remain on.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn. They
provide more light for cornering.
Twilight Sentinel

This control is located
below the exterior lamps
control knob. It
automatically turns the
lamps on and off by sensing
how dark it is outside.
To operate the Twilight Sentinel, leave the exterior
lamps control knob off and move the TWILIGHT lever
to any position but OFF.

yellowblue
2-46
If you move the lever all the way to the right, the lamps
will remain on for approximately three minutes after the
ignition has been turned to OFF or ACC. If you move
the lever so it is just on, the lamps will go off quickly
when you turn the ignition out of ON. You can adjust
the delay time from only a few seconds to three minutes.
If it's dark enough outside and Twilight Sentinel is
turned off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will display on the Driver's Information Center (DIC).
This message informs the driver that turning on the
exterior lamps is recommended (it's become dark
enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other
exterior lamps). Turning on the Twilight Sentinel, the
headlamps or the fog lamps will remove the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message.Light Sensor
The light sensor for the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
and the Twilight Sentinel is located on the driver's side
of the front defogger grille. If you cover the sensor, it
will read ªdarkº and the lamps will come on.

2-49 Battery Load Management
The battery load management feature is designed to
monitor the vehicle's electrical load and determine when
the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During times
of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at a higher
revolutions per minute (rpm) setting than normal to make
sure the battery charges. High electrical loads may occur
when several of the following are on: headlamps, high
beams, fog lamps, rear window defogger, high blower fan,
heated seats and engine cooling fans.
If the battery continues to discharge, even with the
engine idling at a higher rpm setting, some electrical
loads will automatically be reduced. When this occurs,
the rear window defogger may take slightly longer to
clear the glass, the heated seats may not get as warm as
they usually do and the fan blower may cut back to a
lower speed. For more battery saving information, see
ªBattery Saver Active Messageº in the Index.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle's battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp, glove
box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage door opener. When
the ignition is turned off, the power to these features will
automatically turn off after 10 minutes. Power will be
restored for an additional 10 minutes if any door is opened,
the trunk is opened or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
Mirrors
Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compass
Your vehicle has an electrochromic inside rearview
mirror with a compass.
By pressing the MIRROR side of the button located at
the bottom of the mirror, the position of the mirror
automatically changes to reduce glare from headlamps
behind you.

BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH - 8: This message
shows that the electrical charging system is
overcharging (more than 16 volts). To avoid being
stranded, have the electrical system checked by your
dealership. You can reduce the charging overload by
using the accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set
the climate control on AUTO and the fan speed on HI,
and turn the rear window defogger on. You can monitor
battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFO button.
The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts when the engine
is running.
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW
- 6: This message will
appear when the electrical system is charging less than 9
volts or if the battery has been drained. If this message
appears immediately after starting, it is possible that the
generator can still recharge the battery. The battery should
recharge while driving but may take a few hours to do so.
Consider using an auxiliary charger (be sure to follow the
manufacturer's instructions) to boost the battery after
returning home or to a final destination. If this message
appears while driving or after starting your vehicle and
stays on, have it checked immediately to determine the
cause of this problem. To help the generator recharge the
battery quickly, you can reduce the load on the electrical
system by turning off the accessories. You can monitor
battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFO button.
The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.CHANGE BRAKE PADS
- 125: This message is used
