Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system comes on in daylight when the following conditions are met:
• | The ignition is on. |
• | The exterior lamps control is in the AUTO position. |
• | The shift lever is not in P (Park). |
• | The light sensor determines it is daytime. |
When the DRL are on, the taillamps, sidemarker, instrument panel and other lamps will not be on.
The automatic headlamp system automatically switches from DRL to the headlamps depending on the darkness of the surroundings.
To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior lamp control to the off position and then release it. For vehicles first sold in Canada, the transmission must be in the P (Park) position, before the DRL can be turned off.
