The Interior and Exterior Lights

Daytime Running Light System
(Canadian vehicles only)
The Daytime Running Light (DRL) system turns
the high beam headlamps on, with a reduced
light output, when:
The headlamp system is in the OFF position,
and
The vehicle is running, and
The vehicle has a fully released parking
brake.
NOTE: If you have a vehicle with an
automatic lighting system, the DRL
system is active until the automatic
system turns on the headlamps.
NOTE: The high beam indicator will not turn
on in the flash-to-pass mode during
nighttime driving.
NOTE: You may notice that the lights flicker
when the vehicle is turned on or off.
This is a normal condition.
The Daytime Running Light (DRL) system
will not illuminate the tail lamps and
parking lamps. Turn on your headlamps
at dusk. Failure to do so may result in a
collision.
