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 make your low-beam headlamps
come on at a reduced brightness in daylight when
the following conditions are met:
The ignition is
on,
the exterior lamp band is in
OFF
or in the parking
the parking brake is released, and
the transaxle is not in PARK
(P)
on models with an
lamp position,
automatic transaxle only.

This indicator light on your
instrument panel cluster
will come on when the DRL
are on.
A flashing DRL telltale indicates a possible burned
out
headlamp, or that the vehicle may need service
to
repair
a stuck DRL relay.
When the DRL are on, your low-beam headlamps will
be on at a reduced brightness. The taillamps,
sidemarker and other lamps won’t be on. Your
instrument panel won’t be lit up either.
When you turn the exterior lamp band
to the headlamp
position, your low-beam headlamps will come on.
The other lamps that come on with your headlamps will
also come on.
When you turn
off the headlamps, the regular lamps will
reduced brightness.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL
off,
set the parking
brake. The DRL will stay off until you release the parking
brake.
