Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

OIE-ID = 1884358 Owner = cparke01 LMD = 03-may-2007 LMB = cparke01
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving conditions,
but they can be especially helpful in the short periods
after dawn and before sunset. Fully functional daytime
running lamps are required on all vehicles first sold
in Canada.
The DRL system makes the low-beam headlamps come
on in daylight when the following conditions are met:
•
The engine is running,
•
The exterior lamp band is in AUTO, and
•
The light sensor determines it is daytime.
When the DRL are on, the low-beam headlamps will be
on. The taillamps, sidemarker, and other lamps will
not be on. The instrument panel will not be lit up either.
When the exterior lamp band is turned to the headlamp
position, the regular headlamps will come on. The
other lamps that come on with the headlamps will also
come on.
