Lamps On Reminder
A reminder tone will sound when your headlamps or
parking lamps are turned
on
and your ignition is in OFF,
LOCK or ACCESSORY.
To turn the tone off, press the
OFF switch.
Daytime Running Lamps
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.
The DRL system will make your headlamps come on at
reduced brightness when:
the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is off and
the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on. only your headlamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won't
be on.
The instrument panel won't be lit up either.
When it begins
to
get dark, your DRL indicator light is
a
reminder to turn your headlamp switch on. The other
lamps that come on with your headlamps will also
come on.
When you turn the headlamp switch off, the regular
lamps will
go
off, and your headlamps will change to
the reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake. The DRL will stay off until you release the
parking brake.
As
with
any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
