Daytime Running

Lamps (DRL)

The Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
system comes on in daylight when
the following conditions are met:
The vehicle is on.
The exterior lamp control is in
the automatic position.
The electric drive unit is not in
P (Park).
The light sensor determines it is
daytime.
A light sensor on top of the
instrument panel makes the DRL
work, so be sure it is not covered.
Fully functional DRL are required on
all vehicles first sold in Canada.
Lighting
When the DRL are on, the taillamps,
sidemarker lamps, instrument panel
lights, and other lamps will not be
on. The instrument cluster will be lit.
When the exterior lamp control band
is turned to the headlamp position,
the low-beam headlamps come on.
The other lamps that come on with
the headlamps will also come on.
When the vehicle is on and you are
stopped, the DRL can be turned off
by moving the shift lever to P (Park).
The DRL will stay off until the shift
lever is moved out of the P (Park)
position.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.
