Headlamps: Pulling the knob to the second position turns on the headlamps, together with the previously listed lamps and lights. Wiper-Activated Headlamps This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield wipers have been in use for approximately 20 seconds. In order to operate the wiper-activated headlamps, the Twilight SentinelR must be turned on. This feature lights the way in poor weather and it also makes your vehicle more visible to other drivers. If the wiper-activated headlamps are on, and the ignition switch is turned off, the wiper-activated headlamps will immediately turn off. The wiper-activated headlamps will deactivate if you turn off the Twilight Sentinel or if the windshield wipers have been turned off for a period of one or two seconds. 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. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada. The DRL system will make the high-beam headlamps come on at reduced brightness when: D The ignition is on, D the exterior lamp knob is not in the headlamp position D the transaxle is not in PARK (P). When DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps (at reduced brightness) will be on. No other exterior lamps such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc., will be on when the DRL are being used. Your instrument panel won't be lit up either. Lamps On Reminder If the exterior lamp knob is activated, you will hear a warning chime if you open either door while leaving the lamps on. An exception to this is when you're using Twilight Sentinel. 2-43
