Headlamps

The headlamps are operated when the driver places the headlamp switch in the ON position. If the headlight switch is left in the ON position, after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, the headlights will remain on until turned off or the battery runs dead. With the headlights in the low beam position, the high beams may be momentarily turned on or flashed with the dimmer switch handle. The flash-to-pass feature is accomplished by pulling the dimmer switch handle toward the driver. The headlights may be switched to high beam with the opposite movement of the dimmer switch lever.

The Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) illuminate the [high] low beam headlights at a reduced intensity. With the headlamp switch placed in the OFF position, during day light conditions, the BCM will activate the DRL. The DRL will operate when the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the gear selector is not in the PARK position and the parking brake is released. When these conditions have been met and the ambient light sensor indicates daytime conditions, the DRL will illuminate. Any function that turns on the headlights will cancel DRL operation.

DRL operation in Manual Transmission equipped vehicles will occur when the ignition switch is in the RUN position, and the parking brake is released.
