Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
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 makes the
low-beam headlamps come on
in daylight when the following
conditions are met:
• The engine is running,
• The exterior lamp band is in
AUTO, and
• The light sensor determines it is
daytime.
When the DRL are on, the
low-beam headlamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker,
instrument panel lights and
other lamps will not be on.
When the exterior lamp band is
turned to the headlamp position,
the regular headlamps will come on.
The other lamps that come on with
the headlamps will also come on.
When the headlamps are turned off,
the regular lamps also turn off, and
the low-beam headlamps turn on.
The regular headlamp system
should be used when needed.
Automatic Headlamp
System
When it is dark enough outside, the
headlamps come on automatically.
There is a light sensor located on
top of the instrument panel. Do not
cover the sensor or the headlamps
will come on when they are not
needed.
The system may also turn on the
headlamps when driving through a
parking garage or tunnel.
