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.
N6U3004A
The DRL system will make your low-beam
headlamps come on in daylight when the
following conditions are met:
• The ignition is on, and
• the exterior lamp band is in OFF or in the
parking lamp position, and
• the parking brake is released.
When the DRL system is on, the tail lamps,
side marker lamps, parking lamps and
instrument panel lights will not be illumi-
nated unless you have turned the exterior
lamps control to the parking lamp position.
An indicator light on the secondary infor-
mation center will come on when the DRL
system is on. See "Daytime Running
Lamps Indicator Light" in this section.
The DRL system will turn off under the fol-
lowing conditions:
• The ignition is off, or
• the parking brakes are on, or
• the high-beam headlamps are on, or
• the low-beam headlamps are on, or
• flash-to-pass is used.
or
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need
it.

Fog Lamps

If your vehicle has this feature, use your
fog lamps for better visibility in foggy or
misty conditions.
The control for your front fog lamps is
located on the middle of the turn signal/
multifunction lever. To turn on front fog
lamps, turn the fog lamp band to ON. To
turn off the front fog lamps, turn the fog
lamp band to OFF.
