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.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be
sure it isn't covered.
The
DRL system will make your low beam headlamps come on at
reduced brightness
when:
The ignition is on
Thc headlamp switch is off, and
The transaxle is not in PARK (,P).
When it's dark enough outside, your low beam headlamps will change to
full brightness. When it's bright enough outside, the regular lamps will go
off, and your low beam headlamps change to the reduced brightness of
D RL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off shift the transaxle into PARK (P).
The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P).
As with anv vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system
when you need it.
