off, and the parking brake is off. The headlight switch
must be used for normal night time driving.

and cannot be disabled. For U.S. vehicles, this feature is
shipped disabled and can be enabled or disabled at a
authorized dealership, if so desired.
Lights-On Reminder
If the headlights or parking lights are on and the ignition
switch is turned OFF, a chime will sound when the
driver’s door is opened to alert the driver.
Battery Saver Feature — Exterior Lights
To protect the battery, the exterior lights will turn off

To activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking
lights or the low beam headlights and pull out on
the end of the multifunction lever.
