Headlamps on Reminder If you open the driver's door with the ignition off and the lamps on, you will hear a warning chime. The DRL system will be off any time your vehicle is in PARK (P). The DRL system on U.S. vehicles can also be turned off by using the off/on switch for one ignition cycle. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. The DRL system will turn off whenever the park brake is engaged or if vehicle speed is less than 5 mph after the vehicle is started. 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. Your vehicle has a light sensor on top of the instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered or the headlamps will come on when you do not need them. The DRL system will make both front turn signal lamps turn on when the following conditions are met: Fog Lamps If your vehicle is equipped with a fog lamp button, it is located on the instrument panel, to the right of the steering wheel. The ignition is on. The exterior lamp control is turned to AUTO. The light sensor detects daytime light. The shift lever is not in PARK (P). The ignition must be on to turn your fog lamps on. Push the button to turn the fog lamps on. An indicator light on the switch will come on when the fog lamps are on. Push the button again to turn the fog lamps off. The parking lamps will automatically turn on and off when the fog lamps are turned on and off. While the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker lamps, and instrument panel lights will not be illuminated. 3-14
