If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the LED DRL system does
not illuminate. The LED DRL system illumi-
nates when the parking brake is released. The

ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
It is necessary at dusk to turn the headlight
switch on for interior controls and switches
to illuminate, as those remain off while the
switch is in the AUTO or OFF position.
WARNING
When the LED DRL system is active, tail
lights on your vehicle are not on. It is nec-
essary at dusk to turn on your headlights.
Failure to do so could cause an accident
