others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. DRL
are helpful in many different driving conditions, but they
can be especially helpful in the short periods after dawn
and before sunset. Fully functional DRL are required on
all vehicles rst sold in Canada. The vehicle has a light
sensor on top of the instrument panel that controls the
DRL. Make sure it is not covered, or the head lamps will
be on when they are not needed.
The DRL system makes the low-beam headlamps come
on at a reduced brightness when the following
conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
The exterior lamps control is in the parking lamps
only position (This applies only to vehicles that
are rst sold in Canada).
The light sensor detects daytime light.
The parking brake is released or the vehicle is not
in PARK.
When the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, parking lamps, and instrument panel lights are not
on unless you turn the exterior lamps control to the
parking lamp position.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when they are needed.
