System Description ± Headlights
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM
The Daytime Running Light (DRL) system is activated when engine is started (However, if the parking brake
lever is engaged when the engine is started, the DRL will not light up a\
fter the engine has started. Once the
parking brake is released, the DRL will then light up and will remain on regardless of operation of\
the parking
brake lever).
The DRL remain on until the ignition switch is turned off.
