matically illuminate at 100% intensity when
the engine is started and the parking brake
released. The LED DRL operate with the
headlight switch in the OFF position. When
you turn the headlight switch to the
position for full illumination the LED lights
switch from LED DRL to the park function.
If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the LED DRL do not illumi-
nate. The LED DRL illuminate when the
parking brake is released. The LED DRL re-
main on while the engine is running.
It is necessary at dusk to turn the headlight
switch on for interior controls and switches
to illuminate, as those remain off while the
switch is in the OFF position.
WARNING
When the LED DRL system is active, tail
lights on your vehicle are not on. It is
necessary at dusk to turn on your
headlights. Failure to do so could cause
an accident injuring yourself and others.
LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS
(DRL) SYSTEM (Type B) (if so

The LED DRL automatically illuminate at
100% intensity when the engine is started
and the parking brake released. The LED
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) operate with
the headlight switch in any position. When
you turn the headlight switch to the
position for full illumination, the LED DRL
illuminate at a lower intensity.
If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the LED DRL do not illumi-
nate. The LED DRL illuminate when the

the I-LI system is deactivated using the ve-
hicle information display.
The I-LI system warns the driver with a
warning light and a chime, and helps assist
the driver to return the vehicle to the center
of the traveling lane by applying the brakes
to the lef t or right wheels individually (for a
short period of time). For additional infor-
mation, see “Intelligent Lane Intervention
(I-LI)” (P. 5-30) and “Vehicle information dis-
play ” (P. 2-17).The vehicle should be driven with the VDC
system on for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is de-
pressed to the floor. If maximum engine
power is needed to free a stuck vehicle,
turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator light will
come on. Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. For addi-
tional information, see “Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system” (P. 5-113).
When the VDC OFF switch is used to turn off
the VDC system, the Intelligent Trace Con-
trol, Active Ride Control, Automatic Emer-
gency Braking (AEB) with Pedestrian Detec-
tion and Rear Automatic Braking (RAB)
systems are also turned off. For additional
information, see “Integrated Dynamics-
control Module” (P. 5-115), “Automatic Emer-
gency Braking (AEB) with Pedestrian Detec-
tion” (P. 5-85) and “Rear Automatic Braking
(RAB)” (P. 5-80).

EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME
The Remote Engine Start feature can be
extended one time by performing the
steps listed in “Remote starting the vehicle”

as follows:
• The first 10 minute run time will start when the Remote Engine Start function is
performed. • The second 10 minutes will start immedi-
ately when the Remote Engine Start
function is performed again. For example,
if the engine has been running for 5 min-
utes, and 10 minutes are added, the en-
gine will run for a total of 15 minutes.
• Extending engine run time will bring you to the two Remote Engine Start limit.
A maximum of two Remote Engine Starts,
or a single Remote Engine Start with an
extension, are allowed between ignition
cycles. The ignition switch must be cycled
to the ON position and then back to the
OFF position before the Remote Engine
Start procedure can be used again.
