Notes: With the electronic key removed and the driver's door open, a warning sounds and the message "SWITCH OFF LIGHTS" in the multifunction indicator appears if the vehicle's exterior lamps (except standing lamps) are not switched off. Fog lamps will operate with the parking lamps and/or the low beam headlamps on. Fog lamps should only be used in conjunction with low beam headlamps. Consult your State or Province Motor Vehicle Regulations regarding allowable lamp operation. Fog lamps are automatically switched off when the exterior lamp switch is turned to position D. 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 B to permit activation of the high beam headlamps. Night security illumination When exiting the vehicle after driving with the exterior lamps on, they switch on again for added illumination for approximately 30 seconds after closing the last door.
