Headlamps
Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps
after the windshield wipers have been in use for
approximately
20 seconds.
In order to operate the wiper activated headlamps, the
twilight sentinel must be in the
on position. 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.
Lamps On Reminder
You will hear a warning chime if you pull the key from
the ignition 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.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so be sure it isn't covered.
The
DRL system will make the high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:
the ignition is on,
0 the headlamp switch is oft' and
the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
