Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parlung lamps
after the windshield wipers have been
in use for
approximately
20 seconds.
In order
to operate the wiper activated headlamps, the
twilight sentinel myst be turned
on. This feature lights
the way in poor weather and it
also makes your vehicle
more visible to other drivers.
If the wiper activated
headlamps are
on, and the ignition switch is turned off.
the wiper activated headlamps will immediately turn off.
The wiper activated headlamps will deactivate if you
turn off the twilight sentinel or if the windshield wipers
have been turned off for a period
of one or two seconds.

You will hear a warning chime if you open either door
while leaving the lamps on, if the manual headlamp
control is activated. An exception to this is when you’re
using 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. DRL 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:
0 the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is off and
the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only your 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. Your instrument panel
won’t be lit up either. When
the twilight sentinel switch is on and it’s dark
enough outside, the high-beam headlamps
(at reduced
intensity) will
turn off and normal low-beam headlamp
operation will occur. When the twilight sentinel switch
is on and it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps
will go
off, and the high-beam headlamps at reduced
brightness will take over for the DRL.
If it’s
dark enough outside and the twilight sentinel
control 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 even though the DRL
are still illuminated (it’s become dark enough outside
to require the headlamps and/or other exterior lamps).
Turning on the twilight sentinel, the headlamp switch
or
the fog lamp switch will remove the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
twilight sentinel switch 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 (PI.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when
you need it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fog Lamps
Use the fog lamps for better
vision
in foggy or misty
conditions. When
you press
the
fog lamp button, a small
indicator light will tell you
that the fog lamps and the
parking
lamps are on. Press
the button again to
turn
them off.
If you switch on the high-beam headlamps. the fog
lamps will turn off. They'll turn back on again when
you
switch to low-beam headlamps.
When the twilight sentinel is on and the fog lamp switch
is activated. the fog lamps will remain on as well as the
headlamps and
parking lamps.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn. They
provide more light for cornering.
Twilight Sentinel
The control is next to
the headlarnp knob. It
automatically switches the
lamps
on and off by sensing
how dark
it is outside.
To operate the twilight
sentinel, leave the lamp
knob
off and move the
TWILIGHT control to any
position but
OFF.
If you move the control all the way to the right, the
lamps will remain on for approximately three minutes
after the ignition has been turned
to OFF or LOCK. If
you move the control so it is just on, the lamps will go
off quickly when you turn the ignition switch out of
RUN. You can adjust the delay time from only a few
seconds
to three minutes.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If it’s dark enough outside and the twilight sentinel
control
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 (it’s become dark
enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other
exterior lamps). Turning
on the twilight sentinel, the
headlamp switch or the fog lamp switch will remove
the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message.
Light Sensor
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
If the manual parking lamp control has been left on, the
exterior lamps will turn
off approximately 10 minutes
after the ignition is turned
to LOCK or ACCESSORY.
This protects draining the battery in case you have
accidently left the headlamps or parking lamps on.
If
you need to purposely leave the lamps on for
more than
10 minutes with the ignition in LOCK or
ACCESSORY, turn the manual control knob
off and
then back on.
To delay the lamps from turning off, see
“Twilight Sentinel” earlier in this section.

Instrument Panel Brightness Control
Cluster lighting as well as instrument panel lighting
automatically dims when it becomes dark outside and
your lights are on. When it’s dark, the brightness
control can be manually adjusted. Cluster lighting and
instrument panel lighting automatically brighten when
it becomes light outside.
The light sensor
for the Daytime Running Lamps (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 lamps will come
on.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination
of fuses and circuit
breakers.
This greatly reduces the chance of fires
caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with
a new one of the identical size
and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have
a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one that has the same
amperage. Pick some feature of your vehicle that
you can get along without
-- like the radio or
cigarette lighter -- and use its fuse, if it is the correct
amperage. Replace it as soon as you can.
There
are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the engine
compartment fuse block and the rear compartment
fuse block.
