Headlamps on Reminder

If you open the driver's door with the ignition turned to
LOCK or ACC while leaving the lamps on, you will
hear a warning chime.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

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 will make your low-beam headlamps
come on when the following conditions are met:
•
The ignition is on.
•
The exterior lamp band is in OFF or in the parking
lamp position.
•
The parking brake is released.
3-14
An indicator light on instrument panel cluster will come
on when the DRL system is on.
When the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, parking lamps and instrument panel lights
will not be illuminated unless you have turned the
exterior lamps control to the parking lamp or headlamp
position.
The DRL system will turn off when one of the following
conditions are met:
•
The ignition is off.
•
The parking brake is on.
•
The high-beam headlamps are on.
•
The low-beam headlamps are on.
•
The flash-to-pass feature is used.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
