LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL)*
To help conserve fuel by reducing the use of
electrical current in the vehicle, DRL can be
used in daylight conditions instead of the low
beam headlights, which consume more elec-
trical current. The daytime running lights are
mounted in the front spoiler and use bright,
electricity-saving LEDs (light emitting diodes).
Position A activates automatic DRL in daylight
