Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier forothers to see the front of your vehicle during the day.Fully functional daytime running lamps are required onall vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system comes on when the followingconditions are met:
.The ignition is on.
.The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
.The engine is running.
.The light sensor determines it is daytime.
When the DRL system is on, only the DRL lamps areon. The taillamps, sidemarker, instrument panel lights,and other lamps will not be on.
When it begins to get dark, the automatic headlampsystem switches from DRL to the headlamps.
To turn off the DRL lamps, turn the exterior lampscontrol to the OFF position and then release. Forvehicles first sold in Canada, the transmission must bein the P (Park) position, before the DRL lamps can beturned off.
Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the automaticheadlamp system turns on the headlamps at the normalbrightness, along with the taillamps, sidemarker, parkinglamps, and the instrument panel lights. The radio lightswill also be dim.
To turn off the automatic headlamp system, turn theexterior lamps switch to the off position and thenrelease it. For vehicles first sold in Canada, thetransmission must be in the P (Park) position, beforethe automatic headlamp system can be turned off.
The vehicle has a light sensor located on the top of theinstrument panel in the defroster grille that regulateswhen the automatic headlamps turn on. Do not coverthe sensor or the headlamps will come on whenever theignition is on.
The system may also turn on the headlamps whendriving through a parking garage, heavy overcastweather, or a tunnel. This is normal.
4-15

There is a delay in the transition between the daytimeand nighttime operation of the Daytime Running Lamps(DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems so thatdriving under bridges or bright overhead street lightsdoes not affect the system. The DRL and automaticheadlamp system is only affected when the light sensordetects a change in lighting lasting longer than thedelay.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automaticheadlamp system will come on immediately. Once thevehicle leaves the garage, it takes approximatelyone minute for the automatic headlamp system tochange to DRL if it is bright enough outside. During thatdelay, the instrument panel cluster may not be as brightas usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightnesscontrol is in the full bright position. SeeInstrumentPanel Brightness on page 4!16.
To idle the vehicle with the automatic headlamp systemoff, turn the control to the off position.
The headlamps will also stay on after you exit thevehicle. This feature can be programmed using theDriver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC VehicleCustomization on page 4!57.
The regular headlamp system can be turned on whenneeded.
