following conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamp band is in the
automatic position.
The transmission is not in
P (Park).
The light sensor determines it is
daytime.
The parking brake is released.
Fully functional Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.
When the DRL are on the taillamps,
sidemarker, instrument panel lights
and other lamps will not be on.
The instrument panel cluster will
be lit.

turned to the headlamp position,
the low-beam headlamps come on.
The other lamps that come on with

To idle your vehicle with the DRL
off, move the shift lever to P (Park).
The DRL will stay off until the shift
lever is moved out of the P (Park)

The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.
