Dayfime Running lights
(CANADA ONLY)
The Canadian Federal Government has
decided that “Daytime Running Lights”
(DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL
can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during
daylight hours. DRL are required
on
new vehicles sold in Canada.
Your DRL work with a light sensor on
top of the instrument panel. Don’t
cover it up.
The low beam headlights will come on
at reduced brightness in daylight when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The parking brake is released. At
dusk, the exterior lights will come
on
automatically and the low beams will
change to full brightness. At dawn, the
exterior lights will go out and the low
beams will change to the reduced
brightness
of DRL (if the headlight
switch is off).
Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off,
set the parking brake while the ignition
is in the
Off or Lock position. Then
start the vehicle. The DRL will stay
off
until you release the parking brake.
Headlighf High-Low Beam
Changer
To change the headlights from low
beam to high or high to low, pull the
turn signal/headlight beam lever all the
way toward
you. Then release it.
When the high beams are on, a blue
light on the instrument panel
also will
be on.
