Daytime Running Lamps (Option)
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.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work, so be sure it isn't covered.
The DRL system will make your low-beam headlamps
come on at a reduced brightness when:
0
The ignition is on,
0
The headlamp switch is off, and
0
The parking brake is released.
When the DRL aye on, only your low-beam headlamps
w i l l
be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won't be on.
Your
instrument panel won't be lit up either.
When it's dark enough outside, your low-beam headlamps
will change to
full
brightness. The other lamps that come
on with your headlamps will also
come
on.
When it's bright enough outside, the regular lamps will
go out, and your low-beam headlamps will change to
the reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DIU off, set the parking
brake while the ignition is in the OFF or LOCK
position. Then start your vehicle. 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.
Fog Lamps
To turn the fog lamps on, press the top of the fog lamp
switch (C). Press the bottom of the switch to turn the fog
lamps off.
Your
parking lamps must be on, or your fog
lamps
won't come on.
The fog lamps will go off whenever you change to
high-beam headlamps. When you return to low beams,
the fog
lamps will
come on again.
