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 high
-beam headlamps
come on at a reduced brightness when:
D The ignition is on,
D the headlamp switch is in OFF or you have turned on
your parking lamps,
D the light sensor detects daytime light,
D the parking brake is released and
D the shift lever is not in PARK (P) on vehicles with an
automatic transaxle only.
When the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, park lamps and instrument panel lights will not
be illuminated.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
