Daytime
Running
Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make
it
easier
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.
The
DRL system
will
make your headlamps come on at
reduced brightness when:
the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is off and
the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are
on.
only your headlamps
will
be
on.
The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won't
be on.
The 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 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.
As
with
any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
