Daytime Running Lamps / Automatic
Headlamp Control

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 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 isn’t covered.

The DRL system will make your front turn signal lamps
come on when the following conditions are met:

D

The ignition is on,

D

the exterior lamps control is off and

D

the parking brake is released.
