Lamps on Reminder
If the driver’s door is opened and you turn the ignition
to OFF while leaving the lamps on, you will hear a
warning chime.
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. Fully
functional daytime running lamps are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.
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 reduced intensity high
-beam headlamps
come on in daylight when the following conditions
are met:
D
The ignition is on,
D
the exterior lamps control is in AUTO, and
D
the shift lever is not in PARK (P).
When the DRL are on, only your reduced intensity
high
-beam headlamps will be on. The taillamps,
sidemarkers and other lamps will not be on. Your
instrument panel won’t be lit up.
When it’s dark enough outside, the exterior lamps will
come on automatically. When it’s bright enough outside,
the exterior lamps will go out and the DRL will turn on.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
