yellowblue Ending Cruise Control There are two ways to turn off the cruise control: The DRL system will make your low-beam headlamps come on at reduced brightness in daylight 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 low-beam headlamps will be on. The parking lamps, taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won't be on. Your instrument panel won't be lit up either. When it's dark enough outside, your low-beam headlamps will change to full brightness. The other lamps that come on with your headlamps will also come on. When it's bright enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and your low-beam headlamps change to the reduced brightness of DRL. To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, shift the transaxle into PARK (P). The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P). To turn off all exterior lighting at night when you are in PARK (P), turn off the headlamps and move the twilight sentinel control, located to the left of the steering column, all the way toward MIN. See "Twilight Sentinel" in the Index. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. D Step lightly on the brake pedal, or D Move the cruise switch to OFF. The CRUISE light will also go out. Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased. Exterior Lamps Headlamps See "Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever" in the Index. 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. A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be sure it isn't covered. 2-42
