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 at a reduced brightness in daylight when
the following conditions are met:
•
The ignition is on,
•
the exterior lamp band is in the AUTO position,
•
the transaxle is not in PARK (P),
•
the light sensor determines it is daytime, and
•
the parking brake is released.
