Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped)
The daytime running light system turns the headlamps on, with a
reduced light output, when:
²the ignition is in RUN,
²the transmission is not in P (Park), and
²the headlamp system is not turned on by another feature such as
using the headlamp control or Autolamp.
Always remember to turn on your headlamps at dusk or during
inclement weather. The Daytime Running Light (DRL) System
does not activate your tail lamps and generally may not provide
adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.
The Daytime Running Light (DRL) system will automatically illuminate
the tail lamps and parking lamps at dusk (when the headlamp control is
in the OFF position). Since the instrument panel will not be illuminated,
turn on the headlamps using the headlamp control.
