Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day.
A light sensor on top of the
instrument panel makes the DRL
work, so be sure it is not covered.
The DRL system makes the
low
‐ beam headlamps come on
at a reduced brightness or for
vehicles with High Intensity
Discharge (HID) headlamps, the
DRL lights will come on when the
following conditions are met:
. The ignition is in the ON/
RUN mode.
. The exterior lamp control is
in AUTO.
. The engine is running.
When the DRL are on, only the
low
‐ beam headlamps, at a reduced
level of brightness, will be on. The
headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker,
instrument panel, and other lamps
will not be on.
The headlamps automatically
change from DRL to the regular
headlamps depending on the
darkness of the surroundings. The
other lamps that come on with the
headlamps will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps go off and the DRL
come on.
To turn the DRL off or on again, turn
the exterior lamp control to the off
position and then release.
