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 DRL are required
on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system makes the
headlamps come on at a reduced
brightness when the following
conditions are met:
•
The ignition is on with the engine
running.
•
The exterior lamps switch is off.
•
The parking brake is released.
When the exterior lamp switch is
turned to the headlamp position, the
DRL go off and the headlamps come
on. The other lamps that come on
with the headlamps also come on.
The headlamps automatically switch
from DRL to the regular headlamps
depending on the darkness of
the surroundings. See Automatic
Headlamp System on page 5-3.
DRL also comes on if only the
parking lamps are being used.
