Daytime Running Lamps (Drl) - Chevrolet 2009 Kodiak Owner's Manual

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

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 will make the headlamps come on
at reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:
•
The ignition is on,
•
the exterior lamp control is off, and
•
the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only the headlamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker, instrument panel lights,
and other lamps will not be on.
When the headlamps are turned on, the other lamps
that come on with the headlamps will be on.
When the headlamps are turned off, the regular lamps
will go off, and the low-beam headlamps will change
to the reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle the vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake. The DRL will stay off until the parking brake is
released.
Turn on the regular headlamp system when it is
needed.
When it gets dark, the
DRL indicator light is a
reminder to turn the
headlamps on.
