Daytime Running Lights
(CANADA ONLY)
The Canadian federal government has
decided that Daytime Running Lights
(DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL
can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during
daylight hours. DRL
are
required on
new vehicles sold in Canada.
Your DRL work with a light sensor on
top of the instrument panel. Don't cover
it up. The low beam headlights will
come on at reduced brightness in
daylight when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The parking brake is released.
At dusk, the exterior lights will come on
automatically and the low bearns will
change to full brightness. At dawn, the
exterior lights will go out and the low
beams will change to the reduced
brightness of DRL (if the headlight switch
is off
).
Of course, you may still turn on
the headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off,
set the parking brake while the ignition
is in the Off or Lock position. Then
start the vehicle. The DRL will stay off
until you release the parking brake.
