Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the Automatic
Headlamp System turns on the headlamps when
the vehicle is started and after the transaxle
has been shifted out of the PARK (P) position.
The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker, and parking
lamps will come on. The instrument panel lights
and radio lights will also turn on at normal
brightness. Once on, the system remains on
during these conditions even if the vehicle
is shifted back into PARK (P).
The vehicle has a light sensor on the top of the
instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered or the
system may come on whenever the ignition is on
and the vehicle is shifted out of the PARK (P)
position.
The system could also turn on the lamps when
driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast
weather or a tunnel. This is normal.There is a delay in the transition between the
daytime and nighttime operation of the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp
systems, so that driving under bridges or bright
overhead street lights does not affect the system.
The DRL and automatic headlamp system are only
affected when the light sensor sees a change in
lighting lasting longer than the delay.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system comes on after the
transmission is shifted out of PARK (P). 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. During that delay, the
instrument panel cluster might not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright position.
If the vehicle is running and the automatic
headlamp system is already on, it can be turned
off by turning and releasing the headlamp
control at the off position. The automatic headlamp
system stays off until you turn and release the
headlamp control at the off position again.
SeeHeadlamps on page 179.

Fog Lamps
Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or
misty conditions. The ignition must be in RUN for
the fog lamps to work.
The fog lamp button is
located on the
instrument panel to the
right of the exterior
lamps knob.
Press the button to turn the fog lamps on. Press
the button again to turn them off. A light glows
near the button while the fog lamps are on.
Fog lamps turn off whenever the high-beam
headlamps are on.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Instrument Panel Brightness
Press the knob located
next to the exterior
lamps knob to extend it.
Turn the knob to adjust the instrument panel
lights. Turn the knob all the way up to turn on the
interior lamps. Press the knob back into its
stored position when you are not using it.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will come on when you open a
door unless the dome lamp override is pressed in.

Warning Lights, Gages, and
Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages
that may be on your vehicle. The pictures will
help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes serious
enough to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to your warning
lights and gages could also save you or others
from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is
a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few
pages, some warning lights come on brie y when
you start the engine just to let you know they’re
working. If you are familiar with this section,
you should not be alarmed when this happens.Gages can indicate when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often
gages and warning lights work together to let you
know when there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and
stays on when you are driving, or when one of the
gages shows there may be a problem, check
the section that tells you what to do about
it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly—and even
dangerous. So please get to know your warning
lights and gages. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a Driver Information
Center (DIC) that works along with the warning
lights and gages. SeeDriver Information
Center (DIC) on page 218.

Here is why:
{CAUTION:
Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the
passenger’s frontal airbag if the system
detects a rear-facing child restraint, no
system is fail-safe, and no one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy
under some unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off. We recommend
that rear-facing child restraints be
transported in vehicles with a rear seat
that will accommodate a rear-facing child
restraint, whenever possible.
If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the
airbag status indicator, it means that the
passenger sensing system has turned off the right
front passenger’s frontal airbag. SeePassenger
Sensing System on page 82for more on this,
including important safety information.If, after several seconds, all status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there
may be a problem with the lights or the passenger
sensing system. See your dealer for service.{CAUTION:
If the off indicator and the airbag
readiness light ever come on together, it
means that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. If this ever happens,
have the vehicle serviced promptly,
because an adult-size person sitting in the
right front passenger seat may not have
the protection of the frontal airbag. See
Airbag Readiness Light on page 201.
