NOTE
When driving in daylight conditions, the headlights will switch off and the daytimerunning lights will come on. In darkness,the daytime running lights will switch offand the Active Bending Lights will switchon.
The ABL function is activated automatically when the engine is started and the headlight switch is in the

deactivated/reactivated by pressing the but- ton in the center console (see page 64.
LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
To help conserve fuel by reducing the use of electrical current in the vehicle, DRL can beused in daylight conditions instead of the lowbeam headlights, which consume more elec-trical current. The daytime running lights aremounted in the front spoiler and use bright,electricity-saving LEDs (light emitting diodes).
Press button A to activate automatic DRL in day-
light driving conditions
With the headlight switch in the
posi-
tion as shown in the illustration, press the button with the A symbol to activate the auto-
matic LED daytime running lights in daylightdriving conditions (the indicator light in thebutton will illuminate). A light sensor thenmonitors the ambient lighting conditions andautomatically switches from LED DRL to thelow beam headlights in weaker ambient light(and will switch back to DRL when the ambi-ent light becomes brighter). Press the buttonagain (the indicator light in the switch will turnoff) to switch on the headlights. The LED DRLs will also switch off automati-cally (and the low beams will switch on) if:
• The rear fog light is switched on
• The windshield wipers are switched on for more than 10 seconds
If the LED DRL function was activated when the ignition was switched off, it will be activewhen the ignition is switched on again.
WARNING
• DRL is a driving aid designed to help conserve electrical current. This sys-tem cannot always determine if theambient lighting conditions are suffi-cient for switching from low beams toDRL (or vice versa). It is always thedriver's responsibility to visually deter-mine if the low beam headlights shouldbe used.
• As the driver, you have full responsibil-ity for operating the vehicle in a safemanner.

• Driving distance on current fuel reserve
• Average fuel consumption
• Current fuel consumption
• Average speed •
Current speed in mph (Canadian models only)
• DSTC (see page 158 for detailed infor-mation)

2. Driving distance on current fuel
reserve
This function shows the approximate dis-tance that can be driven on the fuel remainingin the tank. The calculation is based on aver-age fuel consumption during the last 20 miles(30 km) of driving and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank when the reading wastaken. When
"----" is displayed in the text window,
refuel as soon as possible.
3. Average fuel consumptionThis value indicates fuel consumption since the last time the trip computer was reset (bypressing RESET, button C). When the engine
is switched off, information on fuel consump-tion is stored and remains in system memoryuntil the RESET (button C) is pressed again.
4. Current fuel consumptionThis value indicates the current fuel con-sumption, based on readings taken once persecond. When the vehicle is not moving,"----" will be displayed.
5. Average speedThis value indicates average speed since thelast time the trip computer was reset (bypressing RESET, button C). When the engine

The HomeLink 1
Wireless Control System pro-
vides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmittersused to activate devices such as gate opera-tors, garage door openers, entry door locks,security systems, even home lighting. Addi-tional HomeLink information can be found onthe Internet at www.homelink.com or byphoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.
WARNING
• If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is nearthe gate or door while it is in motion.
• When programming a garage dooropener, it is advised to park outside ofthe garage.
• Do not use HomeLink with any garagedoor opener that lacks safety stop andreverse features as required by U.S.federal safety standards (this includesany garage door opener model manu-factured before April 1, 1982). Agarage door that cannot detect anobject - signaling the door to stop andreverse - does not meet current U.S.federal safety standards. For moreinformation, contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.com.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in othervehicles as well as for future HomeLink pro-gramming. It is also suggested that upon thesale of the vehicle, the programmed Home-Link buttons be erased for security purposes.Refer to “Resetting HomeLink Buttons” onpage 91.
Programming HomeLink
NOTE
Some vehicles may require the ignition to be switched on or be in the “accessories”position for programming and/or operationof HomeLink. It is also recommended thata new battery be placed in the hand-heldtransmitter of the device being pro-grammed to HomeLink for quicker trainingand accurate transmission of the radio-fre-quency signal. The HomeLink buttonsmust be reset first. When this has beencompleted, Homelink is in learning modeso that you can perform programming.
1. Position the end of your hand-held trans-
mitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to pro-gram while keeping the indicator light inview.
2. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLink and hand-held trans-mitter buttons until the HomeLink indica-tor light changes from a slow to a rapidlyblinking light. Now you may release boththe HomeLink and hand-held transmitterbuttons.
