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.
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 low-beam headlamps
come on at a reduced brightness when:
0
The ignition is on,
The headlamp switch is
off
and
The parking brake is released.
When the DRL
are
on, only your low-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’s dark enough outside, your low-beam
headlamps will ‘change to full brightness. The other
lamps that come on with your headlamps will also
come on.
When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will
go out, and your low-beam headlamps change to the
reduced brightness
of
DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the
DRL
off,
set the parking
brake while the ignition is in the
OFF
or LOCK
position. Then start your vehicle. 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.
Fog
Lamps
To turn fog lamps on, press the top of the switch (C).
Press the bottom
of
the switch to turn the fog lamps off.
Your parking lamps must
be
on, or your fog lamps
won’t
come on.
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.
