·The system will arm when you lock the doors with
your remote keyless entry transmitter. The key
must be removed from the ignition when you lock
the doors or the content theft-deterrent system
will not arm.
·The system will disarm when you unlock the doors
with your remote keyless entry transmitter.
While this mode provides increased security, it can be a
problem if your remote keyless entry transmitter is
damaged, lost or if it fails to operate for any reason while
the content theft-deterrent system is armed. The
content theft-deterrent system must be disarmed for the
engine to run while in Mode 2; your key can no longer

the key is removed from the ignition.
·The system will disarm when you unlock the doors
with your key or remote keyless entry transmitter.

6. Press the panic button until you hear the number
of chimes corresponding to the mode selection
you want.

When you release the paddle, the washers will stop, and
the wipers will continue to operate for two cycles,
unless your wipers had already been on. In that case,
the wipers will resume the wiper speed you had selected
earlier.
{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.
Rear Window Washer/Wiper
Your vehicle may have a
rear window wiper. If it
does, the rear window
wiper switch is located in
the instrument panel
switchbank.

turn on the intermittent wiper. To turn off the wiper,
gently press the top of the switch.
To wash and wipe the rear window, press the washer
symbol on the top of the switch. Washer ¯uid will
run down the glass as long as the switch is held in.
When the top of the switch is released, the wiper will
continue to cycle three more times. There is only
one washer ¯uid reservoir for the front and rear
windshield wipers. See

3-15

Daytime Running Lamps/Automatic
Headlamp System
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.
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 front parking and turn signal lamps
come on in daylight when the following conditions
are met:
·The ignition is on,
·the exterior lamps control is off, and
·the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your front parking and turn
signal lamps will be on. Your instrument panel won't
be lit up.When it's dark enough outside, the exterior lamps will
come on automatically. When it's bright enough outside,
the exterior lamps will turn off and the DRL will turn
on. Of course, you may still turn on the headlamps any
time you need to.
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 it is light outside. During that delay,
your instrument panel cluster may not be as bright
as usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright position. See ªInstrument
Panel Brightness Controlº under
Interior Lamps
on page 3-17.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL and automatic
headlamps off, set the parking brake while the ignition is
in OFF or LOCK. Then start the vehicle. The DRL
and automatic headlamps will stay off until you release
the parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
3-16

Dome Lamp
The dome lamp is located in the headliner and has two
buttons to manually turn on and off the lamp. The
dome lamp will come on each time you open a door,
unless you turn on the interior lamps override feature.
See ªInterior Lamps Overrideº earlier in this section.
Entry Lighting
With entry lighting, the interior of your vehicle is
illuminated so that you can see inside before you enter
your vehicle. The lamps will come on for 40 seconds
if you unlock your door using your key or the remote
keyless entry transmitter and the ignition is in LOCK or
OFF. After 40 seconds have passed, the interior
lamps will slowly fade out. The lamps will turn off before
the 40 seconds if you:
·Lock all the doors using the key,
·press LOCK on the power door lock switch, or
·press LOCK on the remote keyless entry
transmitter.
When any door is opened, entry lighting is cancelled.
The interior lamps will stay on while any door or liftgate
is open, and slowly fade out when all doors and the
liftgate are closed.The interior lamps may stay on for up to 25 seconds
after all doors have been closed if they have not been
locked. See ªDelayed Lightingº following.
To turn the entry lighting feature off or on, see
Vehicle
Personalization on page 2-61.
Delayed Lighting
The delayed lighting feature will continue to illuminate
the interior for 25 seconds after all doors have been
closed so that you can ®nd your ignition and buckle your
safety belt at night. Delayed lighting will not occur
while the ignition is in RUN or ACCESSORY. After
25 seconds have passed, the interior lamps will slowly
fade out. The lamps will fade out before the 25 seconds
have passed if you:
·Turn the ignition to RUN or ACCESSORY,
·lock all doors using the remote keyless entry
transmitter, or
·lock all the doors using the power door lock switch
or the key.
To turn the delayed lighting feature off or on, see
Vehicle Personalization on page 2-61.
3-18

Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on for
about 25 seconds whenever you remove the key from
the ignition. If you turn the ignition key to RUN or
ACCESSORY, the lamps will fade out. The lamps will
also fade out if you lock the doors with the power
door lock switch or the remote keyless entry transmitter.
When any door is opened, exit lighting is cancelled.
The interior lamps will stay on while any door or
the liftgate is open, and slowly fade out when all doors
and the liftgate are closed.
The interior lamps may stay on for up to 25 seconds
after all doors have been closed if they have not been
locked. See ªDelayed Lightingº earlier in this section.

of the lamp. These lamps will come on each time you
