Daytime Running Lights (DRLs)
The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) (low inten -
sity) come on automatically whenever the igni -
tion is placed in the ON/RUN position, and the
headlight switch is turned to the position,
and the dusk sensor detects sufficient
external light.
If the turn signals are operated, the brightness
of the corresponding Daytime Running Lights
will be decreased as long as the turn signals
are on.
The DRL can be activated/deactivated from
the radio system, by selecting the following
functions in sequence on the main MENU:

You can signal another vehicle with your head-
lights by lightly pulling the multifunction lever
toward you. This will cause the high beam
headlights to turn on, and remain on, until the
lever is released.
Automatic High Beam Headlights — If
Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlights system
provides increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control through the use
of a camera mounted on the windshield. This
camera detects vehicle specific light and auto -
matically switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is out of
view.
This function is enabled with the radio system,
and can only be activated with the light switch
turned to (auto).
If the high beam headlights are on, the blue
icon/warning light will illuminate in the
instrument panel.
When the speed is higher than 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the function is active, the lights
will turn off if the multifunction lever is pushed
again. When the speed is lower than 15 mph
(25 km/h) and the function is active, the func
-
tion switches the high beam headlights off.
If the high beam headlights are operated
quickly again (pushing the multifunction lever
towards the instrument panel), the warning
light/icon will illuminate in the instrument
panel, and the high beam headlights will turn
on constantly until the speed exceeds 25 mph
(40 km/h).
When the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) is
exceeded again, the automatic functioning is
reactivated.
If the multifunction lever is pushed again with
the Automatic High Beam Headlights acti -
vated, the Automatic High Beam Headlights
function deactivates.
To deactivate the automatic headlight function,
rotate the headlight switch to the position.
NOTE:
If the system recognizes heavy traffic areas,
the automatic functions remain disabled
independently of the vehicle’s speed.
The Automatic High Beam functionality may
also be influenced by:
• Reflections on road signs
• Dim headlights from oncoming traffic
• Poor weather conditions •
Presence of dirt or other obstructions on
the sensor
• Damage to the windshield
Parking Lights

panel lights, rotate the headlight switch clock -
wise to the position. All of the parking lights
will turn on for eight minutes, and opening the
door activates an audible warning.

illuminated, move the multifunction lever
(located on the left side of the steering wheel)
to the side that you want to remain on. With
the parking lights on, the warning light on
the instrument panel will illuminate.
To turn off the parking lights, rotate the head -
light switch back to the O (off) position.
Headlight Off Delay
To assist when exiting the vehicle, the “Head -
light Off Delay” feature will leave the head -
lights on for up to 90 seconds. This delay is
initiated when the ignition is placed in the OFF
position while the headlight switch is on, and
then the headlight switch is cycled off. Head -
light delay can be canceled by either turning
on the headlights or side lights, or by placing
the ignition in the ON position.
