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
towards you. Then release it.

Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see
the front of your vehicle during
the day. Fully functional daytime
running lamps are required on
all vehicles first sold in Canada.

A light sensor on top of the
instrument panel makes the DRL
work, so be sure it is not covered.

The DRL system will make the
low-beam headlamps come on at a
reduced brightness or for vehicles
with High Intensity Discharge

(HID) headlamps, the dedicated
DRL lights will come on when
the following conditions are met:

The ignition is in the ON/RUN
position.

The exterior lamps control is
in AUTO, or has been briefly
turned to OFF to turn the
automatic light control on again.

The engine is running.

When the DRL are on, the
headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker,
instrument panel and other
lamps will not be on.

The headlamps automatically
change from DRL to the regular
headlamps depending on the
darkness of the surroundings.
The other lamps that come on with
the headlamps will also come on.

When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps will go off and
the DRL will come on.

To turn the DRL lamps off or on
again, turn the exterior lamps control
to the off position and then release.
For vehicles first sold in Canada, the
DRL lamps cannot be turned off.

The regular headlamp system should
be turned on when needed.

Automatic Headlamp
System

When it is dark enough outside and
the headlamp switch is in AUTO, the
automatic headlamp system will turn
on the headlamps at the normal
brightness along with other lamps
such as the taillamps, sidemarker,
parking lamps, license plate lamps,
and the instrument panel lights.
The radio lights will also be dim.

To turn off the automatic headlamp
system, turn the exterior lamps
switch to the off position and then
release. For vehicles first sold in
Canada, the transmission must be in
the P (Park) position, before the
automatic headlamp system can be
turned off.
