WARNING:In severe weather conditions, it may be necessary to
switch your headlamps on manually.
Note:If the vehicle is equipped with autolamps, it will have the
windshield wiper rainlamp feature.When the windshield wipers are
turned to low- or high-speed wiping during daylight, and the headlamp
control is in the autolamp position, the exterior lamps will turn on after a
brief delay and will remain on until the wipers are turned off.
The autolamp system provides light
sensitive automatic on-off control of

delay using the message center in
the instrument cluster. See

Note:If the battery is disconnected, discharged, or a new battery is
installed, the dimmer will set the illuminated components to the
maximum setting automatically.

HEADLAMP EXIT DELAY
You can set the delay time to keep the headlamps on for up to three
minutes after the ignition is turned off.
Follow the steps below to change the delay time (Steps 1 through 6 must
be done within 10 seconds):
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Turn the lighting control to the autolamp position.
3. Turn the lighting control to the off position.
4. Turn the vehicle on and then turn the vehicle off.
5. Turn the lighting control to the autolamp position (the headlights
should turn on).
6. Turn the lighting control to the off position when the desired delay

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Always remember to turn on your headlamps at dusk
or during inclement weather. The Daytime Running Lamp (DRL)
system does not activate the tail lamps and generally may not provide
adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.
The system switches the headlamps on with a reduced output (vehicles
equipped with halogen headlamps) or turns the front fog lamps on
(vehicles equipped with HID headlamps) in low light situations.
To switch the system on:
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Switch the lighting control to the off, autolamp or parking lamp
position.
3. Make sure the transmission selector lever is not in position P.
4. Make sure the parking brake is disengaged.

FRONT FOG LAMPS
The fog lamps can be turned on when the
lighting control is in the headlamps, parking
lamps or autolamps positions and the high
beams are not turned on.
ADAPTIVE HEADLAMPS (if equipped)
The headlamp beams move in the same direction as the steering wheel
which provides more visibility when driving around curves.
A. Without adaptive headlamps
B. With adaptive headlamps
Note:
The system has a power-up movement check feature. When the
vehicle is started, the lamps track left to right, then back to center to alert
the driver that the system is working properly. There is a delay of two to
five seconds before the adaptive headlamp system will operate when the
vehicle is driven, as the system is inactive below 3 mph (5 km/h).
