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 are on, but the headlamps are 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 not work for Canadian vehicles. 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 are 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 vehicle has a light sensor on top of the instrument panel that controls the DRL. Make sure it is not covered, or the head lamps will be on when they are not needed. The DRL system makes the low-beam headlamps come on at a reduced brightness when the following conditions are met: • The ignition is on. • The exterior lamps control is in AUTO. Delayed Headlamps The delayed headlamps feature keeps the headlamps on for 20 seconds after the key is turned to OFF, then the headlamps automatically turn off. To override the 20 second delayed headlamp feature while it is active turn the turn signal/ multifunction lever up one position and then back to AUTO. • The exterior lamps control is in the parking lamps only position (This applies only to vehicles that are first sold in Canada). • The light sensor detects daytime light. • The parking brake is released or the vehicle is not in PARK. 171
