Wiper Activated Headlamps This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield wipers have been in use for approximately six seconds and the multifunction lever is in the AUTO position. See Exterior Lamps on page 164. When the exterior lamp control has been turned off or is in the parking lamp position and the wiper control is on delay, low speed or high speed, the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC). When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated headlamps will immediately turn off. 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 DRL are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada. The DRL system makes the front turn signal lamps come on when the following conditions are met: • It is still daylight and the ignition is on. • The exterior lamp control is in the off position. • The transmission is not in PARK (P). When DRL are on, only the front turn signal lamps are on. No other exterior lamps such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. are on when the DRL are used. Your instrument panel will not be lit. When it is dark enough outside, the front turn signal lamps turn off and normal low-beam headlamps turn on. Headlamps on Reminder A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp control is left on in either the headlamp or parking lamp position and the driver's door is opened with the ignition off. 166
