Daytime Running Lights (DRL) Indicator Light
(Canada On/y)
If your vehicle was
first sold, when new,
in Canada, you will
have this light on the
instrument panel.
It goes on whenever
the Daytime Running
Lights are on.
Daytime Running Lights (Canada On/y)
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.
The high 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.
When you turn on your headlights, the DRL will switch
off and the exterior
lights will come on. When you turn
off the headlights, the exterior lights
will go out and the high beams will change to the reduced brightness of
DRL again. The
DRL indicator light on the instrument panel will go on
whenever the DRL are on. This light means that only the DRL are on. When
you turn on your exterior lights, this light will go out.
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. The DRL will
stay
off until you release the parking brake.
