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.

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
