Daytime Running Lamps

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. Fully functional daytime
running lights are required on all vehicles first sold 
in Canada.

A light sensor on top of the instrument panel monitors
the exterior light level for the operation of DRL and
Twilight Sentinel, so be sure it isn’t covered.

The DRL system will make your high

-

following conditions are met:

D

The ignition is on,

D

the headlamp switch is off and

D

the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
