Parking Lamps

Press the PARK button to turn on the parking lamps.

When the parking lamps are turned on during the day,
the instrument panel cluster lights and backlighting to
buttons will turn on. At night, the brightness of this
lighting can be adjusted by the instrument panel
intensity/brightness control if the ignition key is turned
to RUN. The radio and climate control displays will also
be on. When it becomes dark outside, the instrument
panel intensity/brightness control will operate all
instrument panel lighting.

Lamps On Reminder

If you leave the manual headlamp or parking lamp
switch on, remove the key from the ignition and open
the driver’s door, you will hear a continuous warning
chime. The chime will turn off when the lamps are
turned off.

Daytime Running Lamps

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.

A light sensor on top of the instrument panel monitors
the exterior light level for the operation of DRL and
Twilight Sentinel, so be sure it isn’t covered.

The DRL system will make your high

-

beam headlamps

turn on at reduced brightness in daylight when:

D

The ignition is on,

D

the headlamp switch is off and

D

the transaxle is not in PARK (P).

When the DRL are on, only your high

-

beam headlamps

will be on. The parking lamps, taillamps, sidemarker
and other lamps won’t be on.
