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 engine is running and 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.

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
Pposition 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.

Lighting 151
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 be
affected when the light sensor sees
a change in lighting lasting longer
than the delay.If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately. If it
is light outside when the vehicle
leaves the garage, there will be a
slight delay before the automatic
headlamp system changes to the
DRL. During that delay, the
instrument cluster may not be as
bright as usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness control
is in the full bright position. See
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control
0152.
Lights On with Wipers
If the windshield wipers are
activated in daylight with the engine
on, and the exterior lamp control is
in AUTO, the headlamps, parking
lamps, and other exterior lamps
come on. The transition time for the
lamps coming on varies based on
wiper speed. When the wipers are
not operating, these lamps turn off.

is low, the voltage is raised slightly
to quickly bring the charge back up.
