2 (Headlamps): Turn the band to this position to turn
on all the headlamps, together with the previously
listed lamps and lights.
A circuit breaker protects the headlamps. If you have an
electrical overload, the headlamps will flicker on and
off. Have the headlamp wiring checked right away if this
ever happens.
Headlamps on Reminder
If your vehicle has this feature, an alarm will sound
when the headlamps and/or parking lamps are turned
on and the ignition is in LOCK or ACC.
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. Fully functional
daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles
first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make your headlamps come on
at reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:
•
The ignition is on.
•
The headlamp band is in the OFF position.
•
The parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your low-beam headlamps
will be on. The exterior lamps and instrument panel
will not be lit.
When it begins to get dark,
your DRL indicator light is
a reminder to turn your
headlamp switch on. The
other lamps that come
on with your headlamps,
will also come on.
When you turn the headlamp band to OFF, the regular
lamps will go off, and your low-beam headlamps will
change to the reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake. The DRL will stay off until you release the
parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
