Daytime Running Lamps / Automatic
Headlamp Control
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
shortperiods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor
on top of the instrumentpanelmakes
the DRL work,
so be sureit isn’t covered.
The DRL system will make your high-beam headlamps
come on at
a reduced brightness when:
The ignitionis on,
The headlamp switchis off and
The parking brake is released.
When the DRL areon, only your reduced intensity
high-beam headlampswill be on. The taillamps,
sidemarkerand otherlampswon’t be on.Your
instrument panelwon’tbe lit up either.
When it’sdark enough outside, yourDRL will turnoff
and yourlow-beam headlamps will turn on.The other
lamps that come on withyour headlampswill also
comeon.
When it’s brightenough outside, the low-beam
headlamps willgo out and DRLturns on your
high-beam headlampsat reduced intensity.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL
off, set theparking
brake whilethe ignitionis in
OFF or LOCK. Then start
your vehicle.The DRL will stay off until you release
the parking brake.
As with any vehicle, youshould turn on the regular
headlampsystem whenyou need it.
