The
DRL
system will make your high-
and
low-beam headlamps come on at a reduced brightness
in daylight when:
The ignition is on with the engine running,
The headlamp switch
is OFF,
The parking brake is released and
The transaxle is not in PARK (P) on models with an
automatic transaxle only.

This indicator light on your
instrument
panel
comes on
when DRL are on.
A flashing DRL light indicates a possible burned-out
headlamp, or that the vehicle may need service to repair
a stuck DRL relay.
When the DRL are on, only your high- and low-beam
headlamps will be on at a reduced brightness. The
taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won't be on.
Your
instrument panel won't be lit up either.
When you turn on the headlamp switch, your high-
and low-beam headlamps will go out, and your regular
headlamps will come on. The other lamps that come on
with your headlamps will also come on.
When you turn off the headlamp switch, the regular
lamps will
go off,
and your high- and low-beam
headlamps will come on to the reduced brightness.
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.
