The DRL system will come on when:
the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is in automatic headlamp mode,
the automatic transmission is not in PARK (P),
the light sensor determines it is daytime and
the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your DRL lamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won't be on.
The instrument panel won't be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, the automatic headlamp
system will switch from DRL to the headlamps or the
last chosen headlamp setting that was used.
When you turn the headlamp switch off, the headlamps
will go off, and your DRL lamps will illuminate,
provided it is not dark outside.
To idle an automatic transmission equipped vehicle with
the DRL off, set the parking brake. Shifting the
transmission into PARK (P) will also allow you to idle
the vehicle with the DRL off. The DRL will stay off
until you release the parking brake or shift the
transmission out of PARK (P).
This procedure applies only to vehicles first sold in
the United States.When necessary, you may turn off the Automatic
Headlamp System and the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) feature by following these steps.
When the system is turned off, the headlights will not
automatically come on when it becomes dark outside.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
1. Turn the ignition to RUN.
2. Press the DOME OVERRIDE button four times
within six seconds. After the fourth press of the
button, a chime will sound informing you the system
is off. The system will revert back to the automatic
mode when the ignition is turned off and on again.
3. To return to the automatic mode, push the
DOME OVERRIDE button four times within
six seconds (the chime will sound), or turn the
ignition off and on again.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
