Lamps On Reminder

If you leave the exterior lamp buttons for the headlamps
or parking lamps 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 (DRL)

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. Fully
functional daytime running lamps are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.

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 the
following conditions are met:

D

The ignition is on,

D

the exterior lamp button for the headlamps is off and

D

the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
