Windshield Washer
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
J(Washer Fluid):Press and release
this paddle, located at the top of the turn
signal/multifunction lever, to spray washer
uid on the windshield. The wipers will clear
the windshield and either stop or return to your
preset speed. For more washer cycles, press
and hold the paddle.
_(Heated Washer Fluid):The heated
windshield washer uid system, if your vehicle
has this feature, may be used to help clear
ice, snow, tree sap, or bugs from your windshield.Sliding the switch on the turn signal/multifunction
lever to this position and then releasing it will
activate the heated windshield washer uid
system. This activation will initiate four heated
wash/wipe cycles. The rst heated wash/wipe
cycle may take up to 40 seconds to occur,
depending on outside temperature. After the rst
wash/wipe cycle, it may take up to 20 seconds
for each of the remaining cycles. The heated
windshield washer uid system may be turned off
at any time by sliding the switch on the turn
signal/multifunction lever to this position again.
When the heated windshield washer uid system
is activated under certain outside temperature
conditions, steam may ow out of the washer
nozzles for a short period of time before washer
uid is sprayed. This is a normal condition.
WASHER FLUID LOW ADD FLUID will be
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
when the washer uid is low. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 246.

IntelliBeam™ Intelligent High-Beam
Headlamp Control System
If your vehicle has this feature, be sure to read
this entire section before using it.
IntelliBeam™ is an enhancement to your vehicle’s
headlamp system. Using a digital light sensor
on your rearview mirror, this system turns
the vehicle’s high-beam headlamps on and
off according to surrounding traffic conditions.
The IntelliBeam™ system turns the high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark enough, there is no
other traffic present, and the IntelliBeam system
is enabled.
Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam™
Press and release the IntelliBeam™ button on
the inside rear view mirror. The IntelliBeam™
indicator on the mirror turns on to indicate
the system is on. Once the system has been
turned on, it remains on each time the vehicle
is started, but the IntelliBeam system must
be enabled.To enable the IntelliBeam™ system, turn the
exterior lamp control to AUTO, with the turn
signal/multifunction lever in its neutral position.
The High-Beam On Light appears on the
instrument panel cluster when the high-beams
are on. SeeHighbeam On Light on page 238.
Driving with IntelliBeam™
IntelliBeam™ only activates the high-beams when
driving over 20 mph (32 km/h).
The high-beam headlamps remain on, under the
automatic control of IntelliBeam™, until any of
the following situations occur:
The system detects an approaching vehicle’s
headlamps.
The system detects a preceding vehicle’s
taillamps.
The outside light is bright enough that
high-beam headlamps are not required.
The vehicle’s speed drops below
15 mph (24 km/h).

Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking
lamps after the windshield wipers are turned
on and have completed eight wipe cycles within
four minutes.
When the ignition is turned to OFF, the
wiper-activated headlamps immediately turn off.
The wiper-activated headlamps also turn off if the
windshield wipers are turned off.
Headlamps on Reminder
A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp
control is left on in either the headlamp or parking
lamp position and the driver’s door is opened
with the ignition off.
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 make the turn signal lamps
come on when the following conditions are met:
It is still daylight and the ignition is on.
The exterior lamp control is in the off position.
The transaxle is not in PARK (P)
(United States only).
The light sensor is covered or not detecting
light. See “Sensors” underDual Climate Control
System on page 210.
When DRL are on, no other exterior lamps such as
the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on when
the DRL are being used. Your instrument panel will
not be lit up either.
197

When automatic lighting is on and it is dark enough
outside, the turn signal lamps will turn off and
normal low-beam headlamp operation will occur.
When automatic lighting is on and it is bright
enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and
the DRL 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 there 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 199.
Turning on automatic lighting or the headlamps
will deactivate the DRL. If the parking lamps or the
fog lamps were turned on instead, the DRL will
still deactivate.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off at night,
turn off automatic lighting 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
automatic lighting 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
Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or
misty conditions.
-(Fog Lamps):The fog lamps button is
located on the exterior lamps control. The exterior
lamps control is located on the instrument panel
to the left of the steering column.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to work.
Press the exterior lamps button to turn the
fog lamps on or off. A light will come on in the
instrument panel cluster when the fog lamps
are in use.
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.
198

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.
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
If the manual parking lamps or headlamps have
been left on, the exterior lamps will turn off
approximately 10 minutes after the ignition is
turned to OFF. This protects against draining
the battery in case you have accidentally left the
headlamps or parking lamps on. The battery saver
does not work if the headlamps are turned on
after the ignition switch is turned to OFF.
If you need to leave the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, use the exterior lamp control to
turn the lamps back on.
Instrument Panel Brightness
D(Instrument Panel Brightness):This feature
controls the brightness of the instrument panel
lights.
The button for this control is located below the
exterior lamps control.
Push the button in and release to extend the button.
Turn the button clockwise for brightness of the
instrument panel lights and counter clockwise to
turn the brightness down.
Courtesy Lamps
The courtesy lamps are located on the headliner
above the rear seat. These lamps come on by
turning the instrument panel brightness knob fully
clockwise or when any door is opened and it is
dark outside. Puddle lamps are located on
the bottom of the front and rear door trim.
Professional vehicles have an additional dome
lamp and also opera lamps.
