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. Fully
functional daytime running lights are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.
2-26
The DRL system will make your low
come on at a reduced brightness when the following
conditions are met:
D
The ignition is on,
D
the headlamp switch is off, and
D
the parking brake is released.
When you turn on the headlamp switch, your DRL will
go out and your 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 low
come on at 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.
