Main Menu Table Of Contents Turn Signals and Headlights Fog Lights Turn the fog lights on and off by turning the switch next to the headlight switch. You can use the fog lights only when the headlights are on low beam. With the light switch in the AUTO position, you can also use the fog lights when the headlights turn on automatically. They will go off when the headlights turn off. Daytime Running Lights With the headlight switch off, the high beam headlights come on with reduced brightness when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position and release the parking brake. They remain on until you turn the ignition switch off, even if you set the parking brake. The headlights revert to normal operation when you turn them on with the switch. If you see a ''CHECK DRL SYSTEM'' message on the multiinformation display, there is a problem with the daytime running light system. Take your vehicle to a dealer to have it checked. When the multi-information display shows a ''DRL OFF'' message, the daytime running lights are off. Follow the procedure in the left column to turn them on. Automatic Lighting Off Feature This feature turns off the headlights, all other exterior lights, and the instrument panel lights within 15 seconds after you turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position and close the driver's door. To change the ''HEADLIGHT AUTO OFF TIMER'' setting, see page 118 . The automatic lighting off feature activates if you leave the headlight switch in the or position or if the lights are turned on by setting the switch in the ''AUTO'' position, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position, then open and close the driver's door. If you turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position with the headlight switch on, but do not open the door and get out, the lights turn off after 10 minutes (3 minutes, if the switch is in the ''AUTO'' position). The lights turn on again when you unlock or open the driver's door. If you unlock the door, but do not open it within 15 seconds, the lights go off. With the driver's door open, you will hear a lights-on reminder chime. 142 2008 RL
