When it is bright enough outside, the regular
lamps go off, and the front turn signal lamps take
over. If you start your vehicle in a dark garage,
the automatic headlamp system comes on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it takes
about one minute for the automatic headlamp
system to change to DRL if it is light outside.
During that delay, the instrument panel cluster
might not be as bright as usual. Make sure
the instrument panel brightness knob is in the full
bright position. SeeInstrument Panel Brightness
on page 170for more information.
If it is dark enough outside and the exterior lamp
control is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message displays on the Driver’s Information
Center (DIC). This message informs the driver that
turning on the exterior lamps is recommended.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 206.Turn the exterior lamp control off a second time,
or turn on the headlamps to turn off the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message in the DIC.
If the parking lamps or the fog lamps were
turned on instead, the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message continues to display.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when needed.
Adaptive Forward Lighting System
The Adaptive Forward Lighting System (AFS)
swivels the headlamps horizontally to provide
greater road illumination while turning. AFS will
operate when the vehicle speed is greater than
2 mph (3 km/h). AFS will not operate when
the transmission is in REVERSE (R). AFS is not
immediately operable after starting the vehicle;
driving a short distance is required to calibrate the
AFS. To enable AFS, set the exterior lamp
switch on the multifunction lever to the AUTO
position. Moving the switch out of the AUTO
position will deactivate the system. SeeExterior
Lamps on page 164.

Fog Lamps
Use fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions.
The fog lamps control is located on the
multifunction lever next to the exterior lamp
control.
-(Fog Lamps):Turning the band to this
position will turn the fog lamps on.
When you turn the fog lamps on, the fog lamp
light will appear on the instrument panel cluster to
indicate that the fog lamps and the parking
lamps are on.
If you turn the high-beam headlamps on, the fog
lamps will turn off. They will turn on again
when you switch to low-beam headlamps.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to
operate. The fog lamps will turn off when the
ignition is turned off.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Twilight Sentinel®
Twilight Sentinel®can turn your lamps on and off
for you. A light sensor on top of the instrument
panel makes the Twilight Sentinel
®work, so
be sure it is not covered.
With Twilight Sentinel
®you will see the following
happen:
When it is dark enough outside, the front turn
signal lamps (DRL) will go off, and the
headlamps and parking lamps will come on.
The other lamps that come on with headlamps
will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside, the
headlamps will go off, and the front turn signal
lamps (DRL) will come on, as long as the
exterior lamp switch is in the AUTO position.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage,
the automatic headlamp system will come on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will
take about one minute for the automatic headlamp
system to change to DRL if it is light outside.
