HEADLAMP EXIT DELAY
With the ignition switch off, the headlamps can be activated manually by
pulling the high beam/flash-to-pass lever toward you. You will hear a
short tone. The headlamps will go off automatically after 3 minutes with
any door open, or 30 seconds after the last door has been closed.
The home safe lights can be cancelled by either pulling the high
beam/flash-to-pass indicator lever towards the steering wheel again
or by turning the ignition switch ON.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (DRL) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Always remember to turn on your headlamps in low
light situations or during inclement weather. The daytime running
lamp system does not activate the tail lamps and may not provide
adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.
To switch the Daytime Running Lamp system on:
1. Turn the ignition to the on position
2. Switch the lighting control to the off, autolamp or parking lamp
position.
Vehicle With High Intensity Discharge Headlamps
The Daytime Running Lamp system switches the fog lamps on in day
light conditions (Not available in all markets).
FRONT FOG LAMPS
Press the control to switch the fog
lamps on or off.
You can switch the fog lamps on
when the lighting control is in any
position except off and the high
beams are not on.

•Defrost mode automatically turns the air conditioning on to
dehumidify the air, and cannot be switched off. If defogging or
defrosting is not necessary, select a non-defrost mode and disengage
air conditioning to extend vehicle range.
•Air conditioning and heating functions are automatically switched off
(unless in defrost mode) when driving distance to empty is zero miles
(zero km). The interior fan continues to operate, however.
HEATED WINDOWS AND MIRRORS
Rear Window Defroster
Note:The vehicle must be in Ready to Drive for this feature to work.
The rear window defroster control is located on the climate control panel
and works to clear the rear window of fog and thin ice.
Press
to turn the rear window defroster on. An indicator light on
the control will illuminate when active. The rear window defroster turns
off automatically after a predetermined amount of time, if the system
detects a low battery condition or when you turn the ignition off or to
the accessory position. You can turn off the rear window defroster
manually, at any time, by pressing the control again.
If your vehicle is equipped with both rear defroster and heated mirrors,
the same control will activate both. Refer toHeated outside mirrorsin
theDriver Controlschapter.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines.
Your warranty does not cover this damage.
Heated Exterior Mirror
Note:Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a scraper or attempt to
readjust the mirror glass that has frozen in place. These actions could
cause damage to the glass and mirrors.
Note:Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.
Both mirrors heat to remove ice, mist and fog when you turn the rear
window defroster on.
