Exterior Lamps 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. Fully functional daytime running lights 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 isn't covered. The DRL system will make your front turn signal lamps come on when: They control these systems: D D D D D D D D Headlamps Taillamps Parking Lamps License Lamps Sidemarker Lamps Instrument Panel Lights Courtesy Lamps Cornering Lamps D The ignition is on, D the headlamp switch is off and D the parking brake is released. 2-43
