Parking Lights
To turn on the parking lights and instrument
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.

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.
The function can be activated from the radio
system by selecting the following functions in

the headlight switch, to turn the rear fog lights
on/off.
The rear fog lights turn on only when the head -
lights or parking lights are also turned on. The
lights can be turned off by pushing the
button again or by turning the headlight switch
to the O (off) position.
When the engine is stopped with the rear fog
lights on, they will be off the next time the

This is a system combined with Xenon head -
lights (Bi-Xenon 35 W headlamp, if equipped)
which directs the headlights horizontally, and
continuously and automatically adapts them
to the driving conditions around bends or
when cornering.
The system directs the headlights to light up
the road in the best way, taking into account
the speed of the vehicle and the bend or
corner angle, as well as the speed at which the
steering wheel is turned.
The adaptive lights are automatically activated
when the vehicle is started.
Turn Signals

activate the turn signals. The arrows on each
side of the instrument cluster flash to show
proper operation.
The or turn signal will blink on the instru -
ment panel.

doors are opened or when the dimmer control
is rotated to its farthest upward position. The
glove compartment light turns on automati -
cally when the glove compartment is opened
and turn off when it is closed. The door cour -
tesy lights illuminate when one of the front
doors is opened, and turn off when it is closed.
The liftgate courtesy lights turn on automati -
cally when the liftgate is opened and turn off
when it is closed. All of these lights turn on and
off regardless of the ignition status.

sponding switch on the console. These
switches are backlit for night time visibility. To

overhead lights are off. This will prevent the
battery from discharging once the doors are
closed. If a light is left on accidentally, the
overhead lights will turn off automatically
approximately 15 minutes after the ignition
has been placed in the OFF position.
Overhead Light Timing
On certain models, to assist getting in and out
of the vehicle at night or in poorly-lit areas, two
timed modes have been provided.

minutes when one of the doors is opened.
Will illuminate for a few seconds when the
doors are locked.
Timing is interrupted when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN position.
Three Modes Are Available For Turning Off
Overhead Lighting:
When all doors are closed after entering the
vehicle, the three-minute timer will stop and
a seconds timer will start for the interior
lights. This timing will stop when the ignition
is placed in the ON/RUN position.
When doors are locked (either with key fob
or with key inserted on driver side door), the
overhead light turns off.
The interior lights will turn off after
15 minutes to preserve the battery.
Timing While Getting Out Of The Vehicle —
After placing the ignition in the OFF position,
the overhead lights will turn on as follows:
For a few seconds after the engine stops.
For approximately three minutes when one
of the doors is opened.
For a few seconds when the last door is
closed.
The timing stops automatically when the doors
are locked.

compartment lights can be adjusted through
the radio system.
