The lamp controls 
are located on the
instrument panel.

If you pull the knob out halfway, it will turn on your
parking lamps and your other operating lamps. If you
pull the knob all the way out, your headlamps will then
come on.

Push the knob in all the way to turn off the lamps.

A warning chime will sound if you open the driver’s
door when you turn the ignition switch to OFF, LOCK
or ACCESSORY with the lamps on.

Daytime Running Lamps / Automatic
Headlamp Control

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 makes the
DRL work, so be sure it isn’t covered.

The DRL system will make your front turn signal lamps
come on when:

D

The ignition is on,

D

the headlamp switch is off and

D

the parking brake is released.

When the DRL are on, only your front turn signal lamps
will be on. The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker and
other lamps won’t be on. Your instrument panel won’t
be lit up either.

When it’s dark enough outside, your front turn signal
lamps will turn off and your vehicle’s headlamps and
parking lamps will turn on. The other lamps that come
on with your headlamps will also come on.
