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 dedicated DRL will come on
when all of the following conditions
are met:
.
The ignition is on.
.
The exterior lamp control is
in AUTO.
.
The light sensor determines it is
daytime.
.
The vehicle is not parked.
The taillamps, instrument panel
lights, and other lamps will not
be on.
The DRL turn off when the
headlamps are turned to

ignition is off. For vehicles sold in
Canada, this control only works
when the vehicle is parked.

sensor; otherwise the headlamps
will come 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 Lamps (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

the headlamps will turn off or may
