Exterior Lamps
The exterior lamp control is located on the driver's side
of the instrument panel.The exterior lamp control has three positions:
OFF: Turning the control to this position turns off all
lamps except the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL).
(Parking Lamps): Turning the control to
this position turns on the parking lamps, together with
the following:

Sidemarker Lamps

Taillamps

License Plate Lamps

Instrument Panel Lights

Ashtray Lamp
(Headlamps): Turning the control to this position
turns on the headlamps, together with the previously
listed lamps and lights.
You can change your headlamps from high to low beam
by pulling on the turn signal/high beam lever.
A circuit breaker protects your headlamps. If you have
an electrical overload, your headlamps will flicker on
and off. Have your headlamp wiring checked right away
if this happens.

Headlamps On Reminder
A tone will sound when your headlamps are turned on
and your ignition is in OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY.
If you need to use your headlamps when the ignition
switch is in OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY, the tone
can be turned off by moving the instrument panel
brightness thumbwheel next to the exterior lamp control
all the way down.
Daytime Running Lamps
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 first sold in Canada.The DRL system will make your headlamps come on
at a reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:

The ignition is on,

The exterior lamp control is off, and

The parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your headlamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won't be on.
Your instrument panel won't be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, your DRL indicator light is a
reminder to turn the headlamps on. The other lamps that
come on with your headlamps will also come on.
When you turn off the headlamps, the regular lamps will
go off, and your headlamps will change to the reduced
brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the engine on and the DRL off,
set the parking brake. The DRL 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.

If this light comes on or flashes while you are driving,
two things may happen.
First, you won't notice any difference in engine
performance, but your tail pipe emissions may increase.
Second, your engine may not run properly or may stall
without warning. If either of these things happen, drive
or tow your vehicle to your dealer for service.This light should come on when the ignition is on, but
the engine is not running, as a check to show you it is
working. If it does not come on at all, have it repaired.
NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this light
on, after a while, your emission controls may not
work as well, your fuel economy may not be as
good and your engine may not run as smoothly.
This could lead to costly repairs that may not be
covered by your warranty.
Reduced Engine Power
The REDUCED ENGINE
POWER light will come
on when the cooling system
temperature gets too hot
and the engine further
enters the engine coolant
protection mode.
See ªEngine Overheatingº in the Index for
further information.
