To turn off the DRL lamps, turn the
exterior lamps control to the OFF
position and then release. For
vehicles first sold in Canada, the
transmission must be in the P (Park)
position before the DRL lamps can
be turned off.
Automatic Headlamp
System
When it is dark enough outside and
the headlamp switch is in AUTO,
the automatic headlamp system
turns on the headlamps along with
other lamps such as the taillamps,
sidemarker, parking lamps, roof
marker lamps, and the instrument
panel lights. The radio lights will
also be dim.
To turn off the automatic headlamp
system, turn the exterior lamps
switch to the off position and then
release. For vehicles first sold in
Canada, the transmission must be
in the P (Park) position, before the
automatic headlamp system can be
turned off.
The vehicle has a light sensor
located on the top of the instrument
panel. Do not cover this sensor or
the system will come on whenever
the ignition is on.
The system may also turn on the
headlamps when driving through a
parking garage, a tunnel, or while
driving in heavy overcast weather.
This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition
between the daytime and nighttime
operation of the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) and the automatic
headlamp systems so that driving
under bridges or bright overhead
street lights does not affect the
system. The DRL and automatic
headlamp system is only affectedwhen the light sensor sees a
change in lighting lasting longer
than the delay.
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately.
Once the vehicle leaves the garage,
it takes approximately one minute
for the automatic headlamp system
to change to DRL if it is light
outside. During that delay, the
instrument panel cluster may not be
as bright as usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness control
is in the full bright position. See
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control on page 6‑8.
Lights On with Wipers
If the windshield wipers are
activated in daylight with the engine
on, and the exterior lamp control is
in AUTO, the headlamps, parking
lamps, and other exterior lamps
come on. The transition time for the
lamps coming on varies based on
wiper speed. When the wipers are

Press this button to make the front
and rear turn signal lamps flash on
and off. Press again to turn the
flashers off.
When the hazard warning flashers
are on, the vehicle's turn signals will
not work.
Turn and Lane-Change
Signals
An arrow on the instrument cluster
flashes in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
Move the turn signal lever all the
way up or down to signal a turn.
Raise or lower the lever until the
arrow starts to flash to signal a lane
change. The turn signals
automatically flash three times.
It will flash six times if the tow-haul
mode is active. Holding the turn
signal lever for more than
one second causes the turn signals
to flash until the lever is released.
The lever returns to its starting
position when it is released. If after signaling a turn or a lane
change the arrows flash rapidly or
do not come on, a signal bulb may
be burned out.
Have any burned out bulbs
replaced. If the bulb is not burned
out, check the fuse. See
Instrument
Panel Fuse Block on page 10‑37
and Engine Compartment Fuse
Block on page 10‑32.
Turn Signal On Chime
If the turn signal is left on for more
than 1.2 km (0.75 mi), a chime
sounds at each flash of the turn
signal and the message TURN
SIGNAL ON also appears in the
DIC. See Lamp Messages on
page 5‑30. To turn the chime and
message off, move the turn signal
lever to the off position.

announcements.
Always be alert and obey traffic and
roadway laws and instructions,
regardless of the guidance from the
navigation system. Because the
navigation system uses street map
information that does not include all
traffic restrictions or the latest road
changes, it may suggest using a
road that is now closed for
construction or a turn that is
prohibited by signs at the
intersection. Always evaluate
whether following the system's
directions is safe and legal for the
current conditions. When the navigation system is
turned on, a screen may appear
with information that must be read
and acknowledged before accessing
some navigation features.
After acknowledging the start up
information, the NAV (Navigation)
and DEST (Destination) functions
are accessible. Information can now
be entered or deleted, and other

headphones in heat or direct
sunlight. This could damage the
headphones and repairs will not
be covered by the warranty.
Storage in extreme cold can
weaken the batteries. Keep the
headphones stored in a cool, dry
place.
If the foam ear pads attached to the

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
System
Vehicles with this feature allow the
rear seat passengers to listen to
and control any of the music
sources: radio, CD, DVD, or other
auxiliary sources. The rear seat
passengers can control the same
music sources the front seat
passengers are listening to (dual
control) or a different source. For
example, rear seat passengers can
control and listen to a CD through
the headphones, while the driver
listens to the radio through the
speakers. The rear seat passengers
have control of the volume for each
set of headphones.The radio functionality is controlled
by both the RSA and the front radio.
Only one band can be tuned to at
one time. Changing the band on the
RSA or the front radio will change
the band on the other system,
if they are both sourced to the radio.
The RSA functions can be used
even when the main radio is off.
Audio can be heard through wired
headphones (not included) plugged
into the jacks on the RSA. If your
vehicle has this feature, audio can
also be heard on Channel 2 of the
wireless headphones.
The front audio system allows the
rear speakers to continue playing
even when the RSA audio is active
through the headphones.
To listen to an iPod or portable
audio device through the RSA,
attach the iPod or portable audio
device to the auxiliary input (if
available), located below the RSA
system, USB port, or AUX jack.
Turn the iPod on, then choose the
front auxiliary input with the RSASRCE button. The iPod or portable
audio device can also be connected
to the front auxiliary jack or the
USB port.
P(Power):
Press this button to
turn the RSA on or off.
