Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to
see the front of your vehicle during
the day.
The DRL system makes the
headlamps come on at a reduced
brightness when the following
conditions are met:
.
The engine is running.
.
The exterior lamp control is
in AUTO.
.
The shift lever is out of the (P)
position.
.
The light sensor determines it is
daytime.
When the DRL are on, the taillamps,
sidemarker lamps, instrument panel
lights, and other lamps will not
be on.
The headlamps automatically switch
from DRL to the regular headlamps
depending on the darkness of the
surroundings. See
