Getting to Know Your Silhouette

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

Your vehicle is designed so that front
lamps are always on when the ignition is
in the RUN position. During daylight
hours, the front parking lamps are on. At
night, or in reduced light such as tun­nels, an automatic headlamp control
turns on the front and rear lamps. DRLs
can be disabled while the vehicle is
parked by setting the parking brake with
the ignition OFF, but the DRLs will illumi­nate when the parking brake is released.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Interior Lamps

Radio Data System (RDS)
Function

RDS has the capability to:

• Seek only stations with the types
of programs you want to listen to

• Seek stations with traffic
announcements

To disable the interior lamps, press the
“Don’t” symbol on the interior lamps
override switch, located on the overhead
console switchbank. Press the top of the
switch to enable the interior lamps to
illuminate when a door is opened.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

• Receive announcements concerning
local and national emergencies

• Receive and display messages from
radio stations

RDS features are only available for use
on FM stations that broadcast RDS sig­nals. These features will only work when
the RDS information is available. During
extended use, your radio unit’s buttons
may become warm to the touch. This is
normal.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
