Daytime Running Lamps

(DRL)/Automatic Headlamp System

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier

for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.

DRL can be helpful in many different driving conditions,

but they can be especially helpful in the short periods

after dawn and before sunset. Daytime running

lamps are required to function at all times 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 will make the low-beam headlamps

come on at reduced brightness when the following

conditions are met:

• The ignition is on.

• The exterior lamps control is off.

• The parking brake is released.

While the DRL are on, only the vehicle’s low-beam

headlamps will be on at reduced brightness. The turn

signal, taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps will not be

on. The instrument panel will not be lit up either.

When it is dark enough outside, the DRL will turn off

and the vehicle’s headlamps and parking lamps will turn

on. The other lamps that come on with the headlamps

will also come on.
