Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be sure it is not covered.
The DRL system makes the low—beam headlamps come on at a reduced brightness or for vehicles with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, the DRL lights will come on when the following conditions are met:
- The ignition is in the ON/RUN mode.
- The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
- The engine is running.
When the DRL are on, only the low—beam headlamps, at a reduced level of brightness, will be on.
The high—beam headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker, instrument panel lamps, 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 go off and the DRL 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 cannot be turned off.
This vehicle may have a DRL disabling function. When the DRL are on and a turn signal is activated, the DRL on that side will be off until the turn signal goes off.
