Daytime Running Lamps
/
Automatic
Headlamp Control
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.
A
light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work, so be sure it isn’t covered.
The DRL system will make your front turn signal lamps
come on when:
The ignition is on,
0
The headlamp switch is off and
0
The parking brake is released.
When the
DRL
are on, only your front turn signal lamps
will be on.
The
headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker and
other lamps won’t be on. Your instrument panel won’t
be lit up either.
When it’s dark enough outside, your front turn signal
lamps will turn off and your headlamps and parking
lamps will turn on.
When it’s bright enough outside, your headlamps will
go
off
and your front turn signal lamps will come
on.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL
off,
set the parking
brake while the ignition is in
OFF.
Then start your
vehicle. The DRL, headlamps and parking lamps 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.
Fog Lamps
To
turn the fog lamps
on,
press the fog lamp switch.
A
light will glow on the
switch
to
let you know that
they are on. (Your parking
lamps must be on, or your
fog lamps won’t come on.)
Press the switch again to
turn the fog lamps off.
The fog lamps will go
off
whenever
you
change to
high-beam headlamps. When you return to low beams,
the
fog lamps will come on again.
