Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can

Fully functional Daytime Running
Lamps are required on all vehicles

A light sensor on top of the
instrument panel makes the DRL
work, so be sure it is not covered.The DRL system will make the
low‐beam headlamps come on at a
reduced brightness or for vehicles
with High Intensity Discharge (HID)
headlamps, the dedicated DRL
lights will come on when the
following conditions are met:
.The ignition is in the ON/RUN
position.
.The exterior lamps control is
in AUTO, or has been briefly
turned to OFF to turn the
automatic light control on again.
.The engine is running.
When the DRL are on, the
headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker,
instrument panel, and other lamps
will not be on. The headlamps automatically
change from DRL to the regular
headlamps depending on the
darkness of the surroundings.
The other lamps that come on with
the headlamps will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps will go off and the
DRL will come on.
To turn the DRL lamps off or on
again, turn the exterior lamps
control to the off position and then
release. For vehicles first sold in
Canada, the DRL lamps cannot
be turned off.

should be turned on when needed.
