LOCK:Press this button to lock all the doors.
The parking lamps may also ash and the
horn may chirp when this button is pressed.
If a door is open or ajar when the lock button is
pressed, the horn will chirp several times to let you
know the doors did not lock and the content
theft-deterrent system is not armed. Pressing the
lock button again while the horn is chirping or within
three seconds after the horn stops sounding, the
doors will lock but the content theft-deterrent
system will not arm until the opened door is closed.
You can program different feedback modes
through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
To program the feedback modes, see “Remote
Keyless Entry Feedback” underDIC Controls and
Displays on page 194.
L(Panic):Press this button to make the horn
sound and the headlamps and taillamps ash
for up to 30 seconds. To turn them off again, do
one of these three things: wait for 30 seconds;
press the panic button again; or start the vehicle.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded
to prevent another transmitter from unlocking
your vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen,
a replacement can be purchased through your
dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer.
When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining
transmitters must also be matched. Once your
dealer has coded the new transmitter, the
lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each
vehicle can have a maximum of four transmitters
matched to it.

Headlamps on Reminder
If a door is open, a reminder chime will sound when
the headlamps or parking lamps are manually
turned on and your key is out of the ignition. To turn
off the chime, turn the headlamp switch to off and
then back on. In the automatic mode, the
headlamps turn off once the ignition is in LOCK.
If your vehicle was rst sold in Canada and the
parking lamps are turned on manually, the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) will stay on.
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 rst sold in Canada.The DRL system will come on when the following
conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
The transmission is not in PARK (P) if you
have an automatic transmission.
The light sensor determines it is daytime.
Your vehicle will have either the parking lamps or
reduced intensity low beams used as the DRL.
When the DRL are on, only those lamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarkers, and other lamps will
not be on. The instrument panel will not be lit
up either.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps will
automatically switch from DRL to the regular
headlamps.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.
167

Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the automatic
headlamp system will turn on after the
transmission has been shifted from PARK (P) to
DRIVE (D). The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker,
parking lamps, roof marker lamps, and the
instrument panel lights will turn on at normal
brightness. The radio lights will become more dim
when the headlights are off compared to when
the headlights are on.
Your vehicle has a light sensor located on the
top of the instrument panel. Be sure it is not
covered, or the system will be on whenever the
ignition is on.
The system may also turn on the headlamps when
driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast
weather, or a tunnel. 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 system so that driving under bridges
or bright overhead street lights does not affect
the system. The DRL and automatic headlamp
system will only be affected when the light sensor
detects a change in lighting lasting longer than
the delay.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system will come on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will
take about 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. SeeInstrument Panel
Brightness on page 170.
168

Fog Lamps
If your vehicle has fog lamps, you can use them
for better vision in foggy or misty conditions.
Your parking lamps and/or low-beam headlamps
must be on for your fog lamps to work.
The fog lamp button is
located near the exterior
lamps control.
Press the button to turn the fog lamps on while
the headlamps or parking lamps are on. Press the
button again to turn them off. An indicator light
will glow in the button when the fog lamps are on.
Remember, fog lamps alone will not give off as
much light as your headlamps. Never use your fog
lamps in the dark without turning on the headlamps.
The fog lamps will go off whenever your
high-beam headlamps come on. When the high
beams go off, the fog lamps will come on again.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Exterior Cargo Lamps
The cargo lamps can be used if more light is
needed in the cargo area of the vehicle or in the
top-box storage units.
Press this button,
located on the driver
side of the instrument
panel near the exterior
lamp control, to turn the
cargo lamps on and off.
The dome lamps must be on for the cargo lamps
to come on. SeeDome Lamp on page 170.
169

Interior Lamps
The thumbwheel for the interior lamps is located
next to the exterior lamps control. SeeExterior
Lamps on page 166for additional information on
location.
Instrument Panel Brightness
D(Instrument Panel Lights):Turn the
thumbwheel up or down to brighten or dim the
instrument panel lights and the radio display.
The instrument panel lights, cluster, and radio
display do not dim to complete darkness.
The instrument panel light brightness control will
only work if the headlamps or parking lamps
are on. SeeExterior Lamps on page 166.
Dome Lamp
The dome lamp will come on when a door is
opened. They will shut off several seconds after
all doors are closed.
You can also turn the dome lamp on manually by
turning the interior lamps thumbwheel all the

on whether a door is opened or closed. See
Interior Lamps on page 170for additional
information on location.
Dome Lamp Override
E(Dome Override):Press this button, located
below the exterior lamp control, to turn the
dome lamp off even when a door is opened. See
