Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)/Automatic
Headlamp System
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional daytime running
lamps are required on all vehicles
first sold in Canada.
The DRL system makes the
low-beam headlamps come on
at a reduced brightness when
the following conditions are met:
The ignition is in the ON/RUN
position.
The exterior lamps control is
in AUTO.
The engine is running.
Lighting
When the DRL are on, the regular
headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker,
and other lamps are not on.
The instrument panel and cluster
are also not 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.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.
Do not cover the light sensor on top
of the instrument panel because it
works with the DRL.
