When the Twilight Sentinel®lever is on and it is dark
enough outside, the low-beam headlamps at reduced
intensity will turn off and normal low-beam headlamp
operation will occur.
When the Twilight Sentinel
®lever is on and it is bright
enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and
the low-beam headlamps at reduced brightness will take
over. 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 approximately
one minute for the automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay,
your instrument panel cluster may not be as bright
as usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness
knob is in the full bright position. SeeInstrument
Panel Brightness on page 3-20.
If it is dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel
®
lever is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
display on the Driver’s Information Center (DIC). This
message informs the driver that turning on the exterior
lamps is recommended even though the DRL are
still illuminated.Turning on the Twilight Sentinel
®or the headlamps will
deactivate the DRL and remove the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message. If the parking lamps or the fog
lamps were turned on instead, the DRL will still
deactivate and the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message will continue to be displayed.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off at night, turn off the
Twilight Sentinel
®and shift the transaxle into PARK (P).
Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables the DRL.
The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P).
To drive your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
Twilight Sentinel
®and manually turn on the parking
lamps or fog lamps (if equipped).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.

Fog Lamps
If your vehicle has fog lamps, use them for better vision
in foggy or misty conditions.
The fog lamp button is
located to the left of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel.
When you press the fog lamp button, a fog lamp symbol
in the button and the fog lamp light on the instrument
panel cluster will come on to indicate that the fog lamps
and the parking lamps are on.
Press the button again to turn them off.
If you turn on the high-beam headlamps, the fog lamps
will turn off. They will turn back on again when you
switch to low-beam headlamps.When the Twilight Sentinel
®is on and the fog lamps are
turned on, the fog lamps, headlamps and parking
lamps will remain on.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to operate.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn with the
multifunction lever. They provide more light for cornering.
Twilight Sentinel®
This lever is located next
to the exterior lamp
control. It automatically
turns the lamps on and off
by sensing how dark it
is outside.
To operate the Twilight Sentinel
®, leave the exterior
lamp control in the off position and move the TWILIGHT
lever to any position but OFF.
3-18
Page 139 of 420

If you move the lever all the way to the right, the lamps
will remain on for approximately three minutes after
the ignition has been turned to OFF. If you move
the lever so it is barely on, the lamps will go off quickly
when you turn the ignition switch out of OFF. You can
adjust the delay time from only a few seconds to about
three minutes.
If it is dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel
®
lever is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC). This
message informs the driver that turning on the exterior
lamps is recommended because it has become dark
enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other
exterior lamps. Turning on the Twilight Sentinel
®or
turning the exterior lamp control to the headlamp
position will remove the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message.
Light Sensor
The light sensor for the DRL and the Twilight Sentinel®
is located in the center of the front defogger grille.
If you cover the sensor, it will read “dark” and the
exterior lamps or the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message will be displayed whenever the ignition is on.

Battery Load Management
The battery load management feature is designed to
monitor the vehicle’s electrical load and determine when
the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During
times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at a
higher revolutions per minute (rpm) setting than
normal to make sure the battery charges. High electrical
loads may occur when several of the following are
on: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window
defogger, the climate control fan at high speeds, heated
seats and engine cooling fans.
If the battery continues to discharge, even with the
engine idling at a higher rpm setting, some electrical
loads will automatically be reduced. When this occurs,
the rear window defogger may take slightly longer
to clear the glass, the heated seats may not get as warm
as they usually do and the fan may cut back to a
lower speed. For more battery saving information, see
“Battery Saver Active Message” underDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-60.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, or the garage door opener. When the
ignition is turned off, the power to these features will
automatically turn off after 10 minutes (three minutes if
a new car has 15 miles (24 km) or less). Power will
be restored for an additional 10 minutes if any door is
opened, the trunk is opened or the courtesy lamp switch
is turned on.
Night Vision System
If your vehicle is equipped with the Night Vision System,
it can help you see better when you drive at night.
The system works by sensing heat given off by objects
in its eld of view. Warmer objects, such as pedestrians,
animals, and other moving vehicles, will appear
whiter. Colder objects, such as the sky, signs, and
parked vehicles, will appear darker.
3-22
Page 145 of 420

In dry, clear weather, the system can see pedestrians,
animals, and the direction of the road ahead. In light
rain, light snow, or light fog the image may not be
as clear and you may not be able to see the direction of
the road ahead. In more severe weather conditions,
the image may be unclear and not usable.
{CAUTION:
Do not use the Night Vision System to replace
your normal view of the road ahead. It can not
tell you how far away things are. It senses only
warmer or colder objects, not all objects.
Driving by staring at the image might cause
you not to see important objects in the road
ahead. If you do not see something in time,
you could have a crash in which you and
others could be injured. Use the Night Vision
System only as a driving aid.It is also important to keep your windshield, the HUD
(Head-Up Display for the Night Vision System) lens, and
the camera lens clean. If you do not keep everything
clean, system performance may be affected.
The HUD system is located on the driver’s side of the
instrument panel, next to the windshield and the camera
is located behind the center of the front grille.
Use only household glass cleaner and a soft cloth to
clean the HUD or camera lens. Wipe gently and
dry thoroughly.
Notice:When cleaning, be careful not to scratch
the HUD or camera lenses. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the HUD lens because the
cleaner could leak inside the unit and cause
damage.
The camera must also be aligned to work correctly.
If the camera needs adjustment, see your dealer. Do not
attempt to adjust the camera yourself.
