Ending Cruise Control There are three ways to turn off the cruise control: D Step lightly on the brake pedal, D move the cruise switch to OFF, or D push the cruise lever toward the driver. Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased. Exterior Lamps Headlamps See "Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever" in the Index. 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. A light sensor on top of the instrument panel monitors the exterior light level for the operation of DRL and Twilight SentinelR, so be sure it isn't covered. The DRL system will make your high-beam headlamps come on at a reduced brightness when: D The ignition is on, D the headlamp switch is off, and D the transaxle is not in PARK (P). When the DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps will be on at reduced intensity. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won't be on. Your instrument panel won't be lit either. When it's dark enough outside, your regular intensity headlamps will come on at full brightness and the DRL lighting will turn off. The park lamps that normally come on with your headlamps will also come on. When it's bright enough outside, the regular intensity headlamps and park lamps will turn back off, and the reduced brightness DRL lighting will turn back on. To idle your vehicle during the day with the DRL off, shift the transaxle into PARK (P). The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P). At night, you can turn off all exterior lamps when you are in PARK (P) by turning the Twilight Sentinel knob all the way to OFF. 2-41
