If the vehicle has a trailer towing option with added
wiring for the trailer lamps, a turn signal asher is used.
With this asher installed, the signal indicator ashes
even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear turn signal lamps regularly to make sure
they are working.
Turn Signal On Chime
A chime sounds if the turn signal has been on 3/4 of a
mile (1.2 km). Move the turn signal lever to off.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high beam,
push the lever toward the instrument panel. To return to
low-beam headlamps, pull the multifunction lever
toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams are
on, this indicator light on
the instrument panel
cluster will also be on.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets high-beam headlamps be used to
signal to a driver in front of you that you want to pass.
It works even if the headlamps are in the automatic
position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, then
release it.
If the headlamps are in the automatic position or on low
beam, the high-beam headlamps turn on. They will stay
on as long as the lever is held toward you. The high-beam
indicator on the instrument panel cluster comes on.
Release the lever to return to normal operation.
Windshield Wipers

N(Windshield Wipers):Turn the band to control the
windshield wipers.
6: Turn the band to set the wiper speed for a long or

Headlamps on Reminder
A reminder tone sounds when the headlamps or
parking lamps are manually turned on, if the driver’s
door is open and the ignition is in LOCK/OFF or
ACC/ACCESSORY. To turn the tone off, turn the knob
all the way counterclockwise.
In the automatic mode, the headlamps turn off once the
ignition key is in LOCK/OFF.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional DRL are required on all vehicles
rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system makes the headlamps come on at
reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps knob is in automatic
headlamp mode.
The light sensor detects daytime light.
The transmission is not in P (Park).When the DRL are on, only the headlamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker, instrument panel lights
and other lamps will not be on.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps automatically
switch from DRL to the regular headlamps.
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 transmission
has been shifted out of the P (Park) 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 P (Park).
The vehicle has a light sensor on the top of the
instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor or the system
may come on whenever the ignition is on and the
vehicle is shifted out of the P (Park) position.
The system could also turn on the lamps when driving
through a parking garage, heavy overcast weather
or a tunnel. This is normal.
3-14

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 the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system comes on after the transmission
is shifted out of P (Park). Once the vehicle leaves 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 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 3-13.Fog Lamps
The fog lamp button is located on the instrument panel
to the right of the exterior lamps knob. Use the fog
lamps for better vision in foggy or misty conditions.
The ignition must be in ON/RUN for the fog lamps
to work.
#:Press to turn the fog lamps on or off. An indicator
light turns on 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.

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

Dome Lamps
The dome lamps come on when a door is opened,
unless the dome lamp override button is pressed in.
Dome Lamp Override
The dome override button is located below the exterior
lamps knob.
E:Press to turn the dome lamps off. The dome lamps
will remain off when a door is open. This overrides
the illuminated entry feature unless the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter is used to unlock the vehicle.
Press the button again to return the lamps to automatic
operation. The dome lamps will come on when a
door is opened.
Entry Lighting
The vehicle has entry lighting.
When any door is opened, the dome lamps come on
as long as the dome override lamp override button is not
pressed in. When all the doors are closed, the lamps
stay on for a short period of time and then turn off
automatically. If you use the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter to unlock the vehicle, the interior
lamps come on for a short time whether or not the dome
lamp override is on.
