From the owners manual:
The headlamp doors are designed to open when you turn
the headlamps on and close wheny ou turn the
headlamps off. The headlamp doors canb e opened
without turning on the headlamps by turning the
headlamps on, then turning the switch back to the
parking lamps position.
The headlamp doors shouldb e open when driving in
icy or snowy conditions to prevent the doors from
freezing closed, and when washing the vehicle to help
clean the headlamps.
You can open the headlamp doors manually:
1. Open the hood.
2. Remove the plastic cover from the retractor
motor knob.
3. Turn the retractor motor knob counterclockwise until
the headlamp door is fully open. The knob will get
harder to turn when the headlamp dooisr all the
way up.
4. Replace the plastic cover on the retractor motor knob.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can maikte e asier 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.
For Canadian vehicles, a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel automatically turns the headlamps on,
so be sure it isn’t covered.
The DRL system will make your front turn signal lamps
come on when:
0 The ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is OFF,
0 the parking brake is released and
0 it is bright enough outside (on Canadian vehicles).
To manually close the headlamp doors, turn the lamps
off and turn the retractor motor knob clockwisIef .t he
headlamp doors aren’t working properly, see your dealer
for help.
