Wiper-Activated Headlamps This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield wipers have been in use for approximately six seconds. To operate, the Twilight SentinelR feature must be turned on. See "Twilight Sentinel" in the Index for more information. When the exterior lamp control is in the off or parking lamp position and the wiper control is on (INT, LO or HI), the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC). When the ignition is turned to OFF, the wiper-activated headlamps will immediately turn off. The wiper-activated headlamps will also turn off if the Twilight Sentinel or the windshield wipers are turned off. 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 the following conditions are met: Lamps On Reminder You will hear a warning chime if you open the driver's door while leaving the lamps on and the exterior lamps control is activated. An exception to this is when you're using Twilight Sentinel or if the ignition is on. 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. 2-47
