Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
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.
The DRL system will make your low-beam headlamps
come on at a reduced brightness when the following
conditions are met:
• The ignition is on.
• The exterior lamp control is turned to AUTO and
the light sensor detects daytime light.
• The exterior lamp control is turned to the off
position.
• The parking brake is released.
• For vehicles with automatic transmissions, the shift
lever is not in PARK (P).
