Parking Lamps Pull the exterior lamp control knob out to the first stop to turn on the parking as well as the taillamps, sidemarker lamps and instrument panel lights. Push the control knob all the way back in to turn the lamps and lights off. Lamps On Reminder If the manual headlamp control is activated, you will hear a warning chime if you open either door while leaving the lamps on. An exception to this is when you're using Twilight Sentinel. Headlamps Pull the exterior lamp control knob out all the way to turn on the headlamps. Push the control knob all the way back in to turn the headlamps off. Wiper-Activated Headlamps This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield wipers have been in use for approximately 20 seconds. In order to operate the wiper-activated headlamps, the Twilight SentinelR must be turned on. This feature lights the way in poor weather and it also makes your vehicle more visible to other drivers. If the wiper-activated headlamps are on, and the ignition switch is turned off, the wiper-activated headlamps will immediately turn off. The wiper-activated headlamps will deactivate if you turn off the Twilight Sentinel or if the windshield wipers have been turned off for a period of one or two seconds. 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. Fully functional daytime running lights are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada. The DRL system will make the high-beam headlamps come on at reduced brightness when: D The ignition is on, D the headlamp switch is off and D the transaxle is not in PARK (P). When DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps (at reduced brightness) will be on. No other exterior lamps such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on when the DRL are being used. Your instrument panel won't be lit up either. 2-42
