Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)/
Automatic Headlamp System
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the
day. Fully functional Daytime Running Lamps are
required on all vehicles rst sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work, so be sure it is not covered. The DRL
system makes the front turn signal lamps come on in
daylight when the following conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps control is off.
When the DRL are on, only the front turn signal lamps
will be on. The instrument panel will not be lit up.
The exterior lamps automatically switch from DRL to
regular headlamps depending on the darkness of
the surroundings.
If vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system comes on immediately. Once the
vehicle leaves the garage, it takes approximately
30 seconds for the automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, the
instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual.
Make sure the instrument panel brightness control is in
the full bright position. SeeInstrument Panel Brightness
on page 3-15.
