Steering Column Controls - Ford 1996 Taurus Manual

Turning on the high beams
To change your headlamps from low to high
beam, push the turn signal lever away from you.
To change them back to low beam, pull the
lever toward you.
For more information about how the high beam
headlamps work, see Steering column controls in
the Index.
Daytime Running Light System
(Canadian and fleet vehicles only)
The Daytime Running Light (DRL) system is
designed to turn the high beam headlamps on,
with a reduced light output and without
illuminating the high beam indicator lamp in the
instrument panel. The DRL system operates
when all of the following conditions are met:
The vehicle is "running."
The vehicle has a fully released parking
brake.
The headlamp system is in the OFF position.
NOTE: If you have a vehicle with an
automatic lighting system, the DRL
system is active until the automatic
system turns on the headlamps.
