If you turn the headlights, or parking lights, or ignition
switch ON again, the system will cancel the delay.
If you turn the headlights OFF before the ignition, they
will turn off in the normal manner.
The headlight delay time is programmable on vehicles
equipped with the EVIC. Refer to “Headlight Off Delay,”
under “Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Fea-
tures),” under “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in Section 4.
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) — If Equipped
The high beam headlights will turn on as Daytime
Running Lights (DRL) and operate at DRL (lower) inten-
sity, whenever the ignition is ON, the engine is running,
the HEADLIGHT switch is off, the parking brake is off,
the turn signal is off, and the shift lever is in any position
except PARK.NOTE:
The Daytime Running Lights will turn off
automatically when the turn signal is in operation and
turn on again when the turn signal is not operating.

If the headlights or parking lights are on after the ignition
is turned to the LOCK position, a chime will sound to
alert the driver when the driver’s door is opened.

parking lights or the low beam headlights and pull
