For 1990-2009 cars only
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 DRL system makes the headlamps come on at a reduced brightness when the following conditions are met:
| • | The ignition is on with the engine running. |
| • | The exterior lamps switch is off. |
| • | The parking brake is released. |
When the exterior lamp switch is turned to the headlamp position, the DRL go off and the headlamps come on. The other lamps that come on with the headlamps also come on.
The headlamps automatically switch from DRL to the regular headlamps depending on the darkness of the surroundings. See "Automatic Headlamp System" following.
DRL also comes on if only the parking lamps are being used.
