When the Twilight Sentinel lever is on and it's dark enough outside, the high-beam headlamps (at reduced intensity) will turn off and normal low-beam headlamp operation will occur. When the Twilight Sentinel lever is on and it's bright enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and the high-beam headlamps at reduced brightness will take over for the DRL. If it's dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel lever is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will display on the Driver Information Center (DIC). This message informs the driver that turning on the exterior lamps is recommended even though the DRL are still illuminated (it's become dark enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other exterior lamps). Turning on the Twilight Sentinel, the exterior lamp knob or the fog lamp button will remove the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message. To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the Twilight Sentinel lever and shift the transaxle into PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables the DRL. The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P). As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. Fog Lamps Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty conditions. The fog lamp button is located to the left of the steering wheel on the instrument panel. When you press the button with the fog lamp symbol, a small indicator light will tell you that the fog lamps and the parking lamps are in use. Press the button again to turn them off. Your ignition must be in RUN for the fog lamps to illuminate. If you turn on the high-beam headlamps, the fog lamps will turn off. They'll turn back on again when you switch to low-beam headlamps. When the Twilight Sentinel is on and the fog lamp button is pressed, the fog lamps will remain on as well as the headlamps and parking lamps. 2-44
