Exterior Lamps
The exterior lamp band on the turn signal/multifunction
lever controls the exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp band has three positions:
OFF: Turning the band to this position turns off all
lamps, except the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL).
< (Parking Lamps): Turning the band to this position
turns on the parking lamps, together with the following:
• Sidemarker Lamps
• Taillamps
• Instrument Panel Lights
4 (Headlamps): Turning the band to this position
turns on the headlamps, together with the previously
listed lamps and lights.
Headlamps on Reminder
If you open the driver’s door with the ignition off and the
lamps on, you will hear a warning chime.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the
day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short
periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully functional
daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles
first sold in Canada.
