Daytime Running

DRL can make it easier for others to

automatic light control on again.
. The engine is running and the
transmission is not in P (Park).
When the DRL are on, the
headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, instrument panel lights, and
other lamps will not be on.
The headlamps automatically
change from DRL to the regular
headlamps depending on the
darkness of the surroundings. The
other lamps that come on with the
headlamps will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps will go off and the
DRL will come on.
To turn the DRL off or on again, turn
the exterior lamps control to
Pand
then release. For vehicles first sold in Canada, the DRL can only be
turned off when the vehicle is
parked.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.

turn on the headlamps at the normal

lamps, parking lamps, license plate
lamps, and the instrument panel
lights. The radio lights will also

To turn off the automatic headlamp
system, turn the exterior lamps
switch to the

headlamp system can be turned off.
