During that delay, your instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness control is in the full bright position. See "Instrument Panel Brightness Control" under Interior Lamps on page 3-19. To idle your vehicle with the system off, turn the ignition on and rotate the exterior light switch to the Off/On position. For Canadian vehicles, the transmission must stay in PARK (P) for this function. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamps when you need them. Delayed Headlamps The delayed headlamps feature will continue to illuminate the headlamps for 20 seconds after the key is turned to OFF at night. Then the headlamps will automatically turn off. To override the 20 second delayed headlamp feature while it is active turn the switch at the end of the turn signal/multifunction lever to the Off/On position. Fog Lamps If your vehicle has this feature, the button for the fog lamps is located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel. Headlamps Off in Park (P) This feature works when the ignition is on and it is dark outside. To turn the headlamps off when it is dark outside but keep other exterior lights on, turn the exterior lamp control to the parking lamp position. In this position, the parking lamps, sidemarker lamps, taillamps, license plate lamps and instrument panel lights will be on, but the headlamps will be off. To turn on the headlamps along with the other lamps when it is dark outside, turn the exterior lamp control to the AUTO or headlamp position. This feature will work for Canadian vehicles if the vehicle is in PARK (P). If your vehicle has fog lamps, the ignition must be on. Push the button to turn the fog lamps on. An indicator light in the button will glow when the fog lamps are on. Push the button again to turn the fog lamps off. The fog lamps will turn off while the high-beam headlamps are turned on. 3-18
