Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. Fully functional DRL are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The vehicle has a light sensor located on top of the instrument panel that controls the DRL and Automatic Headlamps. Do not cover this sensor or the headlamps will be on when they are not needed.
The DRL system will turn the low-beam headlamps on at a reduced brightness when the following conditions are met:
| • | The ignition is on. |
| • | The exterior lamp control is turned to AUTO. For vehicles first sold in Canada, the DRL turns on when the parking lamps are turned on. |
| • | The light sensor detects daytime light. |
| • | The shift lever is not in P (Park). |
When the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker lamps, and instrument panel lights will not be on.
The DRL system will be off any time the vehicle is in P (Park). The DRL system on vehicles sold in the U.S. can also be turned off by using the off/on switch for one ignition cycle.
The regular headlamp system should be turned on when needed.
