Flash-to-Pass
The flash-to-pass feature works with the low
beams or Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) on
or off.
To flash the high beams, pull the turn signal
lever all the way toward you, then
release it.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day. DRL are
required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the instrument
panel makes the DRL work, so be sure it is
not covered.
The dedicated DRL will come on when all of
the following conditions are met:
.The ignition is on.
.The exterior lamps control is in AUTO,
or has been briefly turned to
Pto turn
the automatic light control on again.
.The light sensor determines it is daytime.
.The transmission is not in P (Park).
When the DRL are on, the headlamps,
taillamps, sidemarker lamps, instrument
panel lights, and other lamps will not be on. The headlamps automatically change from
DRL to the regular headlamps depending on
the darkness of the surroundings. The other
lamps that come on with the headlamps will
also come on.
When it is bright enough outside, the
headlamps will go off and the DRL will
come on.
To turn the DRL off or on again, turn the
exterior lamps control to
Pand then
release. For vehicles first sold in Canada, the
DRL can only be turned off when the vehicle
is parked.
The regular headlamp system should be
turned on when needed.
Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside and the
headlamp switch is in AUTO, the automatic
headlamp system will turn on the
headlamps at the normal brightness along
with other lamps such as the taillamps,
sidemarker lamps, parking lamps, license
plate lamps, and the instrument panel
lights. The radio lights will also be dim.
To turn off the automatic headlamp system,
turn the exterior lamps switch to the
P
position and then release. For vehicles first sold in Canada, the transmission must be in
P (Park), before the automatic headlamp
system can be turned off.
The vehicle has a light sensor on the top of
the instrument panel. Do not cover this
sensor, otherwise the system will come on
whenever the ignition is on.
The system may also turn on the headlamps
when driving through a parking garage,
heavy overcast weather, or a tunnel. This is
normal.
There is a delay in the transition between
the daytime and nighttime operation of the
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) and the
automatic headlamp system so that driving
under bridges or bright overhead street
lights does not affect the system. The DRL
and automatic headlamp system will only
