instrument cluster when the high-beam
headlamps are on.
Flash-to-Pass
To flash the high beams, pull the turn signal
lever all the way toward you. Then
release it.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle
during the day. Fully functional DRL are
required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the instrument
panel makes the DRL work, so be sure it is
not covered.
The DRL system makes the low-beam
headlamps come on at a reduced brightness
when the following conditions are met:
.
The ignition is on.
.
The exterior lamp control is in AUTO.
.
The engine is running.
When the DRL are on, the taillamps,
sidemarker, instrument panel, and other
lamps will not be on.
The headlamps automatically change from
DRL to the regular headlamps depending on
the darkness of the surroundings. The other
lamps that come on with the headlamps will
also come on.
When it is bright enough outside, the
headlamps go off and the DRL come on.
The DRL turn off when the headlamps are
turned to
O

vehicles first sold in Canada, this control
only works when the vehicle is parked.
Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside and the
exterior lamp control is in the automatic
position, the headlamps come on
automatically. See

The vehicle has a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Make sure it is not
covered, or the headlamps will be on when
they are not needed.

when driving through a parking garage or
tunnel.
