The ignition is on.
•
The exterior lamp band is in OFF or in the
parking lamp position.
•
The parking brake is released.
An indicator light will come on when the DRL are
on. See
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Indicator Light on page 176 .
When the DRL system is on, the taillamps,
sidemarker lamps, parking lamps and instrument
panel lights will not be illuminated unless you
have turned the exterior lamps control to
the parking lamp or headlamp position.
The DRL system will turn off when one of the
following conditions are met:
•
The ignition is off.
•
The parking brakes are on.
•
The high-beam headlamps are on.
•
The low-beam headlamps are on.
•
The flash-to-pass feature is used.
