Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped)

Turns the headlamps on with a reduced intensity output (halogen
headlamps) or turns the front fog lamps on (HID headlamp).

To activate:
• the ignition must be in the on position,
• the headlamp control is in the off, autolamps or parking lamp position

and

• the transmission must be out of the P (Park) position.

WARNING: Always remember to turn on your headlamps at
dusk or during inclement weather. The Daytime Running Lamp

(DRL) system does not activate the tail lamps and generally may not
provide adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate
your headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.

PANEL DIMMER CONTROL

Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel and all applicable
lit components in the vehicle during
headlamp and parking lamp
operation.
• Tap the top or bottom of the

control to brighten/dim all interior
lit components incrementally, or

• Press and hold the top or bottom of the control until the desired

lighting level is reached.

• Press and hold the top of the control to the full on position to activate

the “dome on” feature. This will turn on the interior courtesy lights.
The lights will remain on until the bottom of the control is pressed.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS

The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident, the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by your authorized dealer.
