Wiper Activated Headlamps This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield wipers have been in use for approximately six seconds. To operate, the Twilight Sentinel® feature must be turned on. When the exterior lamp control is in the off position or parking lamp position and the wiper control is on delay, LO or HI, the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC). When the ignition is turned to OFF, the wiper-activated headlamps will immediately turn off. The wiper-activated headlamps will also turn off if the Twilight Sentinel® or the windshield wipers are turned off. 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 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 low-beam headlamps come on at reduced intensity when the following conditions are met: Headlamps on Reminder A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp control is left on in either the headlamp or parking lamp position and the driver's door is opened with the ignition off. • It is still daylight and the ignition is on. • The exterior lamp control is in the off position. • The transaxle is not in PARK (P). When DRL are on, only your low-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 will not be lit up either. 3-16
