you leave the garage, it will take approximately
one minute for the automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is bright enough outside. During that
delay, your instrument panel cluster may not be as

Information Center. SeeDriver Information Center (DIC)
on page 3-53.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need them.Lamps On Reminder

parking lamps are manually turned on and your
ignition is off, in LOCK, ACCESSORY, or your door is

back on.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the
day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short
periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully functional
daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles
first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will come on when the following
conditions are met:
•the ignition is on,
•the exterior lamps control is AUTO,
•the automatic transmission is not in PARK (P),
•the light sensor determines it is daytime and
When the DRL are on, only your DRL lamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won’tbe
on. The instrument panel won’t be lit up either.
