Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this manual you will nd these notices:
Notice:These mean there is something
that could damage your vehicle.
A notice tells about something that can damage
the vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be
covered by your vehicle’s warranty, and it could
be costly. But the notice will tell what to do to help
avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors
or in different words.
There are also warning labels on the vehicle. They
use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
With this system you can lock and unlock your
doors from about 3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m)

entry transmitter buttons will not operate when the
key is in the ignition.

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.

The exterior lamp control has the following
four positions:
O(On/Off):Turn the control to this position to

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 will activate when the following
conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps knob is in automatic
headlamp mode.
The light sensor detects daytime light.
The transmission is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, either your turn signal lamps or
headlamps will be on. If your vehicle is equipped
with the High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting
system option, the DRL system will turn on your
turn signal lamps. If your vehicle is not equipped
with HID, the DRL system will turn on yourheadlamps at reduced brightness. The taillamps,
sidemarker and other lamps won’t be on. The
instrument panel won’t be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps will
automatically switch from DRL to the regular
headlamps.
Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the Automatic
Headlamp System turns on the headlamps when
the vehicle is started and after the transaxle
has been shifted out of the PARK (P) position.
The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker, and parking
lamps will come on. The instrument panel lights
and radio lights will also turn on at normal
brightness. Once on, the system remains on
during these conditions even if the vehicle
is shifted back into PARK (P).
The vehicle has a light sensor on the top of the
instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered
or the system may come on whenever the
ignition is on and the vehicle is shifted out of the
PARK (P) position.
The system could also turn on the lamps 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
systems, so that driving under bridges or bright
overhead street lights does not affect the system.
The DRL and automatic headlamp system are only
affected when the light sensor sees a change in
lighting lasting longer than the delay.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system comes on after the
transmission is shifted out of PARK (P). 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 might not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright position.
If the vehicle is running and the automatic
headlamp system is already on, it can be turned
off by turning and releasing the headlamp
control at the off position. The automatic headlamp
system stays off until you turn and release the
headlamp control at the off position again.
SeeHeadlamps on page 160.Fog Lamps
The fog lamp control is located on the turn
signal/multifunction lever.
Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or
misty conditions.
-:The band with this symbol is used to turn the
fog lamps on and off.
When the fog lamps are turned on, the parking
lamps also turn on. A message will also display on
the DIC when the fog lamps are turned on or off.
SeeDriver Information Center (DIC) on page 194.
To turn the fog lamps on or off, turn the fog
lamp band on the lever up to the dot and
release it. The band will return to its original
position.
If you turn on the high-beam headlamps, the
fog lamps will turn off. They will turn back on
again when you switch back to low-beam
headlamps.
When the Fog Lamps are turned on or off, a
message will appear on the Driver Information
Center. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 199.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
