To turn the DRL off or on again, turn
the exterior lamp control to
Oand
then release. For vehicles first sold
in Canada, this control only works
when the transmission is in
P (Park).
Automatic Headlamp
System
When it is dark enough outside and
the exterior lamp control is in the
automatic position and the engine is
running, the headlamps come on
automatically. See Exterior Lamp
Controls 0119.
The system may also turn on the
headlamps when driving through a
parking garage or tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately. If it
is light outside when the vehicle
leaves the garage, there is a slight
delay before the automatic
headlamp system changes to the
DRL. During that delay, the
instrument cluster may not be as
bright as usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness control
is in the full bright position. See
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control
0123.
Lights On with Wipers
If the windshield wipers are
activated in daylight with the engine
on, and the exterior lamp control is
in AUTO, the headlamps, parking
lamps, and other exterior lamps
come on. The transition time for the
lamps coming on varies based on
wiper speed. When the wipers are
not operating, these lamps turn off.
Move the exterior lamp control to
P
or;to disable this feature.
Adaptive Forward
Lighting (AFL)
The AFL system adjusts the
headlamps to provide greater road
illumination in various driving
conditions.
To enable AFL, set the exterior lamp
control to the AUTO position.
Moving the control out of the AUTO
position will deactivate the system. AFL will operate when the vehicle
speed is greater than 3 km/h
(2 mph). AFL will not operate when
the transmission is in R (Reverse).
AFL is not immediately operable
after starting the vehicle; driving a
short distance is required to
calibrate the AFL. See
Exterior
Lamp Controls 0119.
Curve Lighting
The light beam pivots based on the
steering wheel position and vehicle
speed of at least 10 km/h (6 mph).
The headlamps shine at an angle of
up to 15 degrees to the right or left
of the direction of travel.
Corner Lighting
On tight bends or when making a
turn, depending on the steering
angle or the turn signal lamp, an
additional left or right reflector is
turned on to illuminate the road at a
right angle to the direction of travel.
It is activated up to a speed of
40 km/h (25 MPH).
