Lights
Map/Reading/Interior Lights
These lights are mounted between the sun visors above the rear view mirror. Each light is turned ON by pressing the button. Press the button a second time to turn the light OFF. The lights will remain on until the switch is pressed a second time, so be sure they have been turned off before leaving the vehicle. They will not turn off automatically. Interior lighting also comes on when a door is opened or the dimmer control is turned fully upward, past the second detent.
There is a second light located midway back in the headliner.
To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn off automatically 10 minutes after the ignition switch is moved to the LOCK position. This will occur if the interior lights were switched on manually or are on because a door is open. This includes the glove box light, but not the trunk light. To restore interior light operation, either turn the ignition switch ON or cycle the light switch.
Headlights, Parking Lights and Instrument Panel Lights
Turn the end of the Multifunction Control Lever to the first detent for parking light operation. Turn to the second detent for headlight operation. Turn to the third detent “A” for “Auto” headlight operation (if equipped).
Headlight Switch
To change the brightness of the instrument panel lights, rotate the center portion of the Multifunction Control Lever up or down.
Dimmer Control
Automatic Headlight System — If Equipped
Turning the end of the Multifunction Control Lever to the third detent, “A” (Auto), will activate the automatic headlight system.
With the engine running and the Multifunction Control Lever in the “A” (Auto) position, the headlights will turn on and turn off based on the surrounding light levels.
Headlight Time Delay
There is also a feature that delays turning off the vehicle lights for 30, 60, or 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned OFF. To activate the headlight delay, the Multifunction Control Lever must be rotated to the “Off” position after the ignition switch is turned OFF. Only the headlights will illuminate during this time. Refer to “EVIC- Customer Programmable Features” in Section 4 to turn this feature “On/Off” or set the time interval.
Passing Light / Flash to Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by lightly pulling the Multifunction Control Lever toward you. This will cause the headlights to turn on at high beam and remain on until the lever is released.
NOTE: If the Multifunction Control Lever is held in the flash to pass position for more than 15 seconds, the high beams will shut off. If this occurs, wait 30 seconds for the next flash to pass operation.
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) — If Equipped
The high beam lights will come on as DRL at DRL intensity (lower), whenever the ignition is on, the engine is running, the headlight switch is off, the parking brake is off, the turn signal is off, and the gear select lever is in any position except PARK.
NOTE: On this vehicle, the DRLwill automatically turn off when the turn signal is in operation and automatically turn back on when the turn signal is not operating.
Lights On Reminder
If the headlights or parking lights are on after the ignition is turned OFF, a chime will sound to alert the driver when the driver’s door is opened.
Fog Lights — If Equipped
The front fog light switch is on the Multifunction Control Lever. To activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking lights or the low beam headlights and pull out the end of the control lever.
Front Fog Light Control
NOTE: The front fog lights will only operate with the headlights on low beam. Selecting high beam headlights will turn off the front fog lights.
Turn Signals
Move the Multifunction Control Lever up or down and the arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal lights. You can signal a lane change by moving the lever partially up or down without moving beyond the detent.
Turn Signal Control
If either light remains on and does not flash, or there is a very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is moved, it would suggest that the fuse or indicator bulb is defective.
High Beam/Low Beam Select Switch
Push the Multifunction Control Lever away from you to switch the headlights to HIGH beam. Pull the Lever toward you, to switch the headlights back to Low beam.
