Daytime running light (DRL) system (all

els sold in U.S.A.)
Daytime Running Light (DRL) system can
make it easier for others to see the front
of your vehicle during the day. The DRL
system can be helpful in many different
driving conditions, but they can be espe-
cially helpful in the short periods after
dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will make your front turn
signal lights come on when:
The ignition is on with the engine run-
ning.
The knob is in the “OFF” position,
position 1 or position 3 with the tail
lights on.
The parking brake is released.
To turn off the DRL system, twist the knob
to the position 2 or position 3 with the
headlights on, or turn the ignition switch
off.
This DRL system can be disabled. For
details, contact your Toyota dealer.
