Thewiper-activated headlamps also turn off if the windshieldwipers are turned off.Headlamps on ReminderA warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp controlis left on in either the headlamp or parking lamp positionand the driver’s door is opened with the ignition off.Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier forothers to see the front of your vehicle during theday. Fully functional daytime running lamps are requiredon all vehicles first sold in Canada.The DRL system makes the turn signal lamps come onwhen the following conditions are met:• It is still daylight and the ignition is on.• The exterior lamp control is in the off position.• The transmission is not in P (Park)(United States only).• The light sensor is covered or not detecting light.See “Sensors” under Dual Climate Control Systemon page 4-36.When DRL are on, no other exterior lamps such as theparking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on when theDRL are being used. The instrument panel will not be litup either.When automatic lighting is on and it is dark enoughoutside, the turn signal lamps turn off and normallow-beam headlamp operation occurs.When automatic lighting is on and it is bright enoughoutside, the regular lamps go off, and the DRLtakes over. If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, theautomatic headlamp system comes on immediately.Once you leave the garage, it will take approximatelyone minute for the automatic headlamp system tochange to DRL if there is light outside. During that delay,the instrument panel cluster may not be as bright asusual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness knobis in the full bright position. See Instrument PanelBrightness on page 4-31.Turning on automatic lighting or the headlamps willdeactivate the DRL. If the parking lamps or thefog lamps were turned on instead, the DRL will stilldeactivate.4-29
