This feature activates the low-beam headlamps, parking
lamps, sidemarker lamps and taillamps after the
windshield wipers have been in use for about
20 seconds.
The wiper-activated headlamps light the way in poor
weather and
also make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers.
If the wipers are on and the ignition switch
is turned off, the headlamps will immediately turn off.
The headlamps will also deactivate if the windshield
wipers have been turned
off for about 20 seconds.
Perimeter Lighting
This feature turns on the low-beam headlamps,
parking lamps, sidemarker lamps and taillamps for
about
20 seconds after the unlock button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter is pressed. Perimeter lighting
immediately ends when your vehicle’s ignition is turned
to
ON or START.
Lamps On Reminder
You will hear a warning chime if you open the door
while leaving the lamps on, if the manual headlamp
control is activated. An exception to this is when you’re
using the twilight sentinel.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DIU, can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short periods after dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will make the high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:
your vehicle’s ignition is in ON or START,
the low-beam headlamps are off (the manual lamp
switch is in the off or park lamp position) and
your vehicle’s transmission is shifted out of
PARK
(P).
When DRL are on, only the high-beam headlamps (at
reduced brightness) will be on.
No other exterior lamps
such as
the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on
when the DRL
are being used. The instrument panel
won’t be lit up either.
When the twilight sentinel is on and it’s dark enough
outside, the high-beam headlamps (at reduced intensity)
will change to low-beam headlamps. When it’s bright
enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and the
high-beam headlamps change to the reduced brightness
of
DRL.

Instrument Panel Brightness Control
This control dial is located to the right of the fog lamp
button. As you rotate the control dial up, the instrument
panel lights will brighten.
Illuminated Entry
This system turns on the courtesy lamps (dome lamps
and door entry lamps) for about
20 seconds when any of
the following occur:
0 If you manually unlock your vehicle with the key,
0 If any door is opened,
0 If you press the unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter, or
0 After the last door on your vehicle is closed.
Illuminated entry immediately ends when your vehicle’s
ignition
is turned to ON or START.
Rear Reading Lamps
The rear reading lamps are located above each rear door.
These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps come on
when any door is opened and it is dark outside.
Placing the button in the center position enables the
lamps to come on when any door is opened. Pressing the
button toward the rear of your vehicle disables the lamps
when any door is opened. With the button set toward the
front
of the vehicle, the lamps will always be on.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off
10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
