Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) make it easier to see the front of your
vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful when it’s raining and in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset. Several countries, including
Canada, require DRL.
The DRL system will make your high-beam headlamps come on at
a
reduced brightness when:
0
The ignition is on,
The headlamp switch is
off,
and
0
The parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps will be on. The
taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won’t be on. Your instrument panel
won’t be lit up either.
When it begins
to
get dark, your DRL indicator light is a reminder to turn
your headlamp switch on. The other lamps that come on with your
headlamps will also come on.
When you turn the headlamp switch off, the regular lamps will
go
off,
and
your high-beam headlamps will change
to
the
reduced brightness
of
DRL.
To
idle your vehicle with the
DRL
off,
set the parking brake. The DRL will
stay
off
until you release the parking brake.
