When you turn the exterior lamp band to the headlamp position, your low-beam headlamps will come on. The other lamps that come on with your headlamps will also come on. When you turn off the headlamps, the regular lamps will go off, and your low-beam headlamps will come on to the reduced brightness. To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, move the shift lever to PARK (P). The DRL will stay off until you move the shift lever out of PARK (P). As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. Fog Lamps If your vehicle has this feature, use your fog lamps for better visibility in foggy or misty conditions. The button for your fog lamps is located in the instrument panel above the radio. Push the button to turn the fog lamps on or off. Automatic Headlamp System When it is dark enough outside and the exterior lamps control is in the automatic position, the headlamps will come on automatically. See Headlamps on page 3-14. Your vehicle has a light sensor located on top of the instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered, or the headlamps will be on when you don't need them. The system may also turn on the headlamps when driving through a parking garage or tunnel. When using fog lamps, the parking lamps or low-beam headlamps must be on. A light on the button will come on when the fog lamps are on. Fog lamps will go off whenever you turn the high-beam headlamps on. When the high-beam headlamps are turned off, the fog lamps will come on again. Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps. 3-15
