There is a delay in the transition between the daytime
and nighttime operation of the Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems 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.
To idle your vehicle with the automatic headlamp
system off, set the parking brake while the ignition is
off. Then start your vehicle. The automatic headlamp
system 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.
Lamps On Reminder
A reminder chime will sound when your headlamps or
parking lamps are manually turned on and your ignition
is in OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY. To disable the
chime, turn the thumbwheel all the way down. In the
automatic mode, the headlamps turn off once the
ignition key is in OFF.
Daytime Running Lamps (If Equipped)
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.
The DRL system will make your high
-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:

the ignition is on,

the headlamp switch is in automatic headlamp mode,

the light sensor detects daytime light,

the transmission is not in PARK (P), and

the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your high
-beam headlamps
will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won't be on. The instrument panel won't be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, the high
-beam headlamps
will automatically switch from DRL to the regular
low
-beam headlamps.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, put your
vehicle's transmission in PARK (P). The DRL will stay
off until you shift out of PARK (P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.

This feature shuts off the dome, courtesy, vanity,
reading, glove box and underhood lamps if they are left
on for more than 20 minutes when the ignition is off.
This will keep your battery from running down.
