Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Dayiime Running Lights (Canada Only)
The Canadian Federal Government has decided that “Daytime Run\
ning Lights” (DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL can make \
your vehicle more
visible to pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. \
DRL is required
on all new vehicles sold in Canada.
The high 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.
vvnen you turn on your headlights, the DRL will switch
off and the exrerlor
lights will come on. When you turn
off the headlights, the exterior lights will
go out and high beams will change to the reduced brightness of DRL again.
The DRL indicator light on the instrument panel will go on wh\
enever the DRL is on. This light means that only the DRL is on. When you turn \
on your
exterior lights, this light will go out. 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. The DRL will
stay
off until you release the parking brake.
Headlights-On Reminder
A reminder tone will sound when your headlights are turned on an\
d your
ignition is in
Off, LOCK or Acc. To turn the tone off, turn the dimmer dial all
