Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to

vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system makes the
dedicated lamps come on when the
following conditions are met:
. The ignition is on.
. The exterior lamp control is in
the AUTO.
. The light sensor determines it is
daytime.
When DRL are on, only the front
lamps will be on. The parking
lamps, taillamps, instrument panel
lights, or other exterior lamps will
not be on when the DRL are
being used.
When it is dark enough outside, the
front lamps dim to parking lamps
and the normal low-beam
headlamps turn on.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.

Automatic Headlamp
System
When the exterior lamp control is
set to AUTO and it is dark enough
outside, the headlamps and parking
lamps come on automatically.
There is a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Do not cover the
sensor, otherwise the headlamps
will come on when they are not
needed. The system may also turn on the
headlamps and parking lamps when
driving through a parking garage or
tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately. If it
is light outside when the vehicle
leaves the garage, there is a slight
delay before the automatic
headlamp system changes to the
DRL. During that delay, the
instrument cluster may not be as
bright as usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness control
is in the full bright position. See
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control
0129.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps and parking lamps
will turn off or may change to
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL).
The automatic headlamp system
turns off when the exterior lamp
control is turned to
Oor the ignition
is off. To turn automatic headlamp system
back on, turn the band to
Oagain,
then release it.
If the automatic headlamp system
has the headlamps turned on and
you turn the ignition off, the
headlamps will turn off. When the
driver door is opened the
headlamps and parking lamps will
illuminate for a period of time.
The length of the delayed
illumination period can be changed.
See “Exit Lighting” underVehicle
Personalization 0116.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.

If the windshield wipers are
activated in daylight with the engine
on and the exterior lamp control is in
AUTO, the headlamps, parking
lamps, and other exterior lamps will
come on. The time it takes for the
lamps to turn on depends on the
wiper speed. When the wipers are
turned off, the lamps turn off. To
disable, move the exterior lamp
control to
Oor;.
