Headlamp High/Low‐Beam

Changer: Push the turn/lane
change lever away from you to turn
the high beams on.

Pull the lever toward you to return to
low beams.

This indicator light turns on in the
instrument panel cluster when the
high‐beam headlamps are on.

Flash-to-Pass

The flash‐to‐pass feature works with
the low beams or Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) on or off.

To flash the high beams, pull the
turn signal/lane change lever all the
way toward you, then release it.

Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
system makes the low-beam
headlamps come on at a reduced
brightness in daylight when the
following conditions are met:

.

The ignition is on.

.

The exterior lamp band is in the
automatic position.

.

The transmission is not in
P (Park).

.

The light sensor determines it is
daytime.

.

The parking brake is released.

Fully functional Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.

When the DRL are on the taillamps,
sidemarker, instrument panel lights
and other lamps will not be on. The
instrument panel cluster will be lit.

When the exterior lamp band is
turned to the headlamp position, the
low-beam headlamps come on. The
other lamps that come on with the
headlamps will also come on.

To idle your vehicle with the DRL
off, move the shift lever to P (Park).
The DRL will stay off until the shift
lever is moved out of the P (Park)
position.

The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.
