Wiper Activated Headlamps This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield wipers have been in use for approximately 15 seconds and deactivates and returns to ambient lighting conditions 15 seconds after the wipers are turned off. If the exterior lamp control has been turned off or is in the parking lamp position while the wiper control is active in any position, the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message appears on the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-51. 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. Fully functional daytime running lamps 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 AUTO position. • The transmission is not in P (Park) or the parking brake is off. • The parking brake is off or the vehicle speed is greater than 8 mph (13 km/h). When DRL are on, only the front turn signal lamps will be on. The parking lamps, taillamps, instrument panel lights, or other exterior lamps will not be on when the DRL are being used. When it is dark enough outside, the front turn signal lamps turn off and the 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. 4-12
