delay setting. If the windshield wipers are active while

switch is off, a ªHeadlamps Suggestedº message will be
displayed on the Driver Information Center. This
message informs the driver that turning on the exterior
lamps is recommended.This feature lights the way in poor weather and it also
makes your vehicle more visible to other drivers. If the
wiper
-activated headlamps are on and the ignition
switch, Twilight Sentinel, or the wipers are turned off,
the wiper
-activated headlamps will immediately
turn off.
Lamps on Reminder
If the manual headlamp control is left on and a door is
opened, a warning chime will sound. An exception is
when the Twilight Sentinel function is active.
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.

tape is broken. Try a new tape.)
