Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to
see the front of your vehicle during
the day. Fully functional DRL are
required on all vehicles first sold in
Canada.
The DRL system makes the
headlamps come on when the
following conditions are met:
. The ignition is on.
. The exterior lamp control is in
the AUTO.
. The vehicle is not parked.
. The light sensor determines it is
daytime.
When the DRL system is on, the
taillamps, sidemarker lamps,
parking lamps, and instrument panel
lights do not come on unless the
exterior lamp control is turned to the
parking lamp or headlamp position.
The DRL system turns off when one
of the following conditions is met:

.The vehicle is parked.
. The high-beam headlamps
are on.
. The low-beam headlamps
are on.
. The light sensor determines it is
nighttime.
For vehicles first sold in Canada,
the DRL can only be turned off
when the vehicle is parked.
The regular headlamp system
should be used when needed.
Automatic Headlamp
System
When it is dark enough outside and
the exterior lamp control is in the
automatic position, the headlamps
come on automatically. See Exterior
Lamp Controls 0109.
The vehicle has a light sensor on
top of the instrument panel. Make
sure it is not covered, or the
headlamps will be on when they are
not needed.
The system may also turn on the
headlamps when driving through a
parking garage or tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately. If it
is light outside when the vehicle
leaves the garage, there is a slight
delay before the automatic
headlamp system changes to the
Daytime Running Lamp (DRL).
During that delay, the instrument cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument
panel brightness control is in the full
bright position. See
Instrument
Panel Illumination Control 0113.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps will turn off or may
change to DRL.
The automatic headlamp system
turns off when the exterior lamp
control or the ignition is off.Lights On with Wipers
If the windshield wipers are
activated in daylight with the vehicle
on, and the exterior lamp control is
in AUTO, the headlamps, parking
lamps, and other exterior lamps
come on. The transition time for the
lamps coming on varies based on
wiper speed. When the wipers are
not operating, these lamps turn off.
Move the exterior lamp control to
P
or;to disable this feature.
