Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)/
Automatic Headlamp System

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. DRL lamps are required
to function at all times on all vehicles first sold in Canada.

A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work, so be sure it is not covered.

The DRL system will make the low-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when the following
conditions are met:

The ignition is on.

The exterior lamps control is off.

The parking brake is released.

While the DRL are on, only the vehicle’s low-beam
headlamps will be on at reduced brightness. The turn
signal, taillamps, sidemarker, and other lamps will not
be on. The instrument panel will not be lit up either.
