In vehicles with daytime running lights (DRL), the instrument cluster lighting switches on automatically
when it is dark outside or when driving through tunnels, for example. You will need to switch the head-
lights on manually when this happens, so that the vehicle's taillights will turn on.
WARNING
Headlights that are aimed too high because of the way the vehicle is loaded can blind and
distract other drivers. This can lead to a crash and serious personal injuries.
x
Always make sure the headlights are adjusted to loading conditions so that they do not
blind others.
