Daytime Running Lamps (Option)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) make it easier 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.
To idle your vehicle
with the DRL off, set the parking
brake while the ignition is in the OFF or LOCK
position. Then start the vehicle. The DRL will stay off
until you release the parking brake.
As
with any vehicle,
you
should turn o n rne regular
headlamp system any time you need it.
A light sensor in the instrument panel cluster makes the
DRL work, so be sure
it
isn't covered.
The
DRL
system will make your headlamp low beams
come on at reduced brightness when:
0
the ignition is on,
0
the headlamp switch is off, and
0
the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your front headlamp low
beams will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other
lamps won't be on. Your instrument panel won't be
lit
up either.
When it's dark enough outside, your headlamps will
come on to full brightness. The other lamps that come
on with your headlamps will also come on.
When it's bright enough outside, the regular lamps will
go off, and your headlamp low beams will come on at a
reduced brightness.
