before the automatic headlamp

system changes to the DRL. During

that delay, the instrument cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure

control is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel Illumination

Control 0 185.

When it is bright enough outside, the

headlamps will turn off or may change to Daytime Running Lamps (DRL).

The automatic headlamp system turns off when the exterior lamp control is

turned to O or the ignition is off.

For vehicles sold in Canada, this control only works when the

transmission is in P (Park).

Lights On with Wipers

the exterior lamp control is in AUTO, the headlamps, parking lamps, and

other exterior lamps come on. The

transition time for the lamps coming on varies based on wiper speed. When the wipers are not operating, these

lamps turn off. Move the exterior

lamp control to O or ; to disable

this feature.
