Headlamps
The lever on the left side of the steering column
operates the exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp switch has the following
four positions:
2(Headlamps):This position turns on the
headlamps, parking lamps, and taillamps.
;(Parking Lamps):This position turns on the
parking lamps and taillamps only.
AUTO (Automatic Headlamp System):This
position automatically turns on the Daytime
Running Lamps during daytime, and the
headlamps, parking lamps, and taillamps at night.
P(Off/On):This position is an Off/On switch for
the Automatic Headlamp System. In Canada, this
applies to vehicles with an automatic transmission
set to PARK (P) and manual transmission vehicles
with the parking brake engaged.
When operating in AUTO, a brief turn of the switch
to off/on will turn off the Automatic Headlamp
System. An AUTO LIGHTS OFF message will
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and
a chime will sound. Turning the switch to off/on
again will turn the Automatic Headlamp System
back on. An AUTO LIGHTS ON message will
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
The Automatic Headlamp System is always turned
on at the beginning of an ignition cycle for vehicles
with manual transmission. When the parking brake
is engaged, the automatic headlamps will turn off.
For vehicles with an automatic transmission, when
the shift lever is shifted out of PARK (P), the
Automatic Headlamp System will turn on. Shifting
the lever back to PARK (P) will turn off the
automatic headlamp system for vehicles with an

Headlamps on Reminder
If you open the driver’s door with the ignition off
and the lamps on, you will hear a warning chime.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
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. Fully functional daytime running lamps
are required on all vehicles rst sold in Canada.
Your vehicle has a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel that helps control the DRL.
Make sure it is not covered or the headlamps
will come on when they are not needed.
The DRL system makes both low beam headlamps
turn on at reduced intensity when the following
conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamp control is turned to AUTO.
The light sensor detects daytime light.
The shift lever is not in PARK (P).While the DRL system is on, the taillamps,
sidemarker lamps, and instrument panel lights
will not be on.
The DRL system turns off on U.S. vehicles by
using the on/off switch for one ignition cycle,
if the vehicle is in the PARK (P) position, or if the
vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km h)
after the vehicle is started.
For vehicles rst sold in Canada the DRL system
will turn off when a automatic transmission
vehicle is in the PARK (P) position or the park
brake is set on a manual transmission vehicle and
the vehicle speed is less than 8 mph (13 km h).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when it is needed.
