The control to the left of the steering column operates the exterior lamps.

(Off): Turn the control to this position to toggle off all lamps. This is a momentary control that will spring back to AUTO when released. This momentary control will turn the automatic headlamps and/or the Daytime Running Lamps on and off for U.S. vehicles. For vehicles first sold in Canada, this is only true when the transaxle is in PARK (P).

AUTO (Automatic): Turn the control to this position to set your headlamps in automatic mode. AUTO mode, if enabled, will turn the exterior lamps on and off automatically depending on how much light is available outside the vehicle. Due to the momentary switch design, your automatic lights may be disabled even if the control is in the AUTO position.

(Parking Lamps): Turn the control to this position to turn on the parking lamps together with the following:

    • Taillamps
    • Instrument Panel Lights
(Headlamps): Turn the control to this position to turn on the headlamps, together with the previously listed lamps and lights.
