To use the flash-to-pass feature, briefly pull

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day. DRL are
required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system makes the dedicated lamps
come on when the following conditions
are met:
.The ignition is on.
.The exterior lamp control is in the AUTO.
.The light sensor determines it is daytime.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.
The regular headlamp system should be
turned on when needed.
To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior lamp
control to
O. The DRL will stay off until the
control is toggled again.
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.
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 0108.

period can be changed. See “Exit Lighting”
under Vehicle Personalization 097.

turned on when needed.
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 will
come on. The time it takes for the lamps to turn on depends on the wiper speed. When
the wipers are turned off, the lamps turn

the turn signals will not work.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
An arrow on the instrument cluster flashes
in the direction of the turn or lane change.
Move the lever all the way up or down to
signal a turn.
