Wiper Activated Headlamps
Your vehicle has a light sensor on top of the instrument
panel. Make sure it is not covered or the headlamps
will come on when you do not need them.
This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps
after the windshield wipers are turned on. For this
feature to work, automatic lighting must be enabled. See
Headlamps on page 3-13 for additional information.
The DRL system will make both front turn signal lamps
turn on when the following conditions are met:
•
•
•
•
The ignition is on.
When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated
headlamps will immediately turn off. They will also turn
off if the windshield wiper control is turned off.
The exterior lamp control is turned to AUTO.
The light sensor detects daytime light.
The shift lever is not in PARK (P).
Headlamps on Reminder
While the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, and instrument panel lights will not be
illuminated.
If you open the driver’s door with the ignition off and the
lamps on, you will hear a warning chime.
The DRL system will be off any time your vehicle is in
PARK (P). The DRL system on U.S. vehicles can
also be turned off by using the off/on switch for
one ignition cycle.
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.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
