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

Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work toge\
ther
to let you
know when there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a probl\
em, check the
section that tells you what to do about
it. Please follow the manual’s advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly-and even dangerous.
So please get to
know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help.
Brake System Warning Light
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
Pol 59
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part
isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. \
For good braking,
though, you need both parts working well. Your vehicle also ha\
s rear wheel anti-lock brakes. If the warning light goes on, there could be a brake problem
with either your regular or rear wheel anti-lock brakes, or both. Have you\
r
brake system inspected right away.
This light should come on as you start the vehicle. If it do\
esn’t come on
then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
This light will also come on when you set your parking brake, and will stay
on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully. If it stays on after your parking
brake is fully released,
it means you may have a brake problem. If the light
comes on while driving, pull
off the road and stop carefully. You may notice
that the pedal is harder
to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor. It
may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for
service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.)
