Headlamps on Reminder If the drivers door is opened with the ignition off and the lamps on, a warning chime will sound. This indicates that the headlamps are still on. The DRL system turns off on U.S. vehicles by using the on/off switch for one ignition cycle, if the vehicle is in the P (Park) position, or if the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h) after the vehicle is started. For vehicles first sold in Canada the DRL system will turn off when a automatic transmission vehicle is in the P (Park) position or the park brake is set on a manual transmission vehicle and the vehicle speed is less than 8 mph (13 km/h). The regular headlamp system should be turned on when it is needed. Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada. The vehicle has a light sensor on top of the instrument panel that helps control the DRL. Do not cover this sensor or the headlamps will come on when they are not needed. The DRL system makes both low beam headlamps turn on at reduced intensity when the following conditions are met: Fog Lamps For vehicles with fog lamps, the button is located on the instrument panel, to the right of the steering wheel. The ignition must be on to use the fog lamps. The ignition is on. The exterior lamp control is turned to AUTO. The light sensor detects daytime light. The shift lever is not in P (Park). # : Press to turn the fog lamps on and off. An indicator light on the button comes on when the fog lamps are on. The parking lamps automatically turn on and off when the fog lamps are turned on and off. The fog lamps will turn off while the high-beam headlamps are turned on. Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps. 3-13 While the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker lamps, and instrument panel lights will not be on.
