on hills depends upon the vehicle
speed, load, and the steepness
of the hills. When going up steep
hills, you might have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain the
vehicle speed. When going downhill,
you might have to brake or shift

Delayed Headlamps
Delayed headlamps provide a period
of exterior lighting as you leave
the area around your vehicle. This
feature is activated when the
headlamps are on due to the
automatic headlamps control
feature, and when the ignition is
turned off. The headlamps remain
on until the exterior lamps control is
moved to the parking lamps
position or until the pre-selected
delayed headlamp lighting period
has ended.
If the ignition is turned off with the
headlamps switch in the parking
lamps or headlamps position,
the delayed headlamps cycle will
not occur.
To disable the delayed headlamps
feature or change the time of
delay, seeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 3-57.
Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL)/Automatic
Headlamp System
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 rst sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the
instrument panel makes the DRL
work, so do not cover the sensor.
The DRL system’s automatic control
makes the DRL lights come on when
the following conditions are met:
The ignition is in the ON/RUN
position.
The exterior lamps control is
in AUTO.
The engine is running.
Instrument Panel 3-13

When the DRL are on, only the DRL
lights will be on. The headlamps,
taillamps, sidemarker, and other
lamps will not be on. The instrument
panel and cluster will also not be lit.
When it is dark enough outside, the
DRL lights will turn off and the
headlamps and parking lamps will
turn on. The other lamps that
come on with the headlamps will
also come on.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps will go off and
the DRL will come on.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when it is
needed.Adaptive Forward
Lighting System
Vehicles with the Adaptive Forward
Lighting System (AFS) have
headlamps that swivel to the left or
right when making a turn to
provide better lighting. To enable
AFS, set the exterior lamp switch to
the AUTO position. Move the
switch out of the AUTO position to
turn off the system. SeeExterior
Lamps on page 3-12.
AFS operates when the vehicle
speed is greater than 2 mph
(3 km/h). AFS does not operate
when the transmission is in
R (Reverse). AFS is not immediately
operable after starting the vehicle;
driving a short distance is required
to calibrate the AFS.
Fog Lamps
Use the fog lamps for better vision
in foggy or misty conditions.
The fog lamps button is located on
the exterior lamps control to the
left of the steering column.
#(Fog Lamps):Press the exterior
lamps button to turn the fog lamps
on or off. A light comes on in
the instrument panel cluster when
the fog lamps are in use. The
ignition must be on for the fog lamps
to work.
When the headlamps are changed
to high-beam, the fog lamps will
turn off. The fog lamps come back
on again when the high-beam
headlamps are turned off.
Some localities have laws that
require the headlamps to be
on along with the fog lamps.
