Lighting 6-3
When DRL are on, only the front
lamps will be on. The parking
lamps, taillamps, instrument panel
lights, or other exterior lamps will
not be on when the DRL are
being used.
When it is dark enough outside, the
front lamps dim to parking lamps
and the normal low-beam
headlamps turn on.
When it is bright enough outside,
the regular lamps go off, and the
front DRL will take over. If the
vehicle is started in a dark garage,
the automatic headlamp system
comes on immediately. Once the
vehicle leaves the garage, it takes
approximately one minute for the
automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light outside.
During that delay, the instrument
cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument
panel brightness knob is in the full
bright position. SeeInstrument
Panel Illumination Control on
page 6-5. If it is dark enough outside and the
exterior lamp control is off, a Driver
Information Center (DIC) message
may display. See
Lamp Messages
on page 5-36.
Turning the exterior lamp control to
off a second time, or turning on the
headlamps will remove the DIC
message. If the parking lamps were
turned on instead, the DIC message
will continue to be displayed.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.
To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior
lamp control to the off position or
shift into P (Park). The DRL will stay
off until the control is toggled again
or the vehicle is shifted out of
P (Park).
This procedure applies only to
vehicles first sold in the United
States.Automatic Headlamp
System
When the exterior lamp control is
set to AUTO and it is dark enough
outside, the headlamps and parking
lamps come on automatically.
There is a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Do not cover the
sensor, otherwise the headlamps
will come on when they are not
needed.
The system may also turn on the
headlamps and parking lamps when
driving through a parking garage or
tunnel.
