Turn signal failure If one of the turn signals fails, the turn signal indicator system flashes and sounds at a faster than normal rate. Standing lamps When the vehicle is parked on the street the standing lamps (right or left side parking lamps) can be turned on, making the vehicle more visible to passing vehicles. The standing lamps cannot be operated with the key in steering lock position 1 or 2. Note: With the key removed and a front door open, a warning sounds if the vehicle's exterior lamps (except standing lamps) are not switched off. Daytime running lamps (Canada only) When the engine is running and the selector lever is in a driving position, the low beam headlamps (includes parking lamps, side marker lamps, taillamps and license plate lamps) are automatically switched on. When shifting from a driving position to position "N" or "P", the low beam switches off (2 seconds delay). For nighttime driving the exterior lamp switch should be turned to position õ to permit activation of the high beam headlamps.
