Daytime Running Lamps

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) make it

amber lamps located in the lower front
fascia. (Always turn on the regular head-
lamp system when it is needed.)
You can turn off the DRL by rotating
the exterior lamps control on the
multifunction switch to the full-down
position. Rotate the switch down again
for the DRL to come back on.
