Daytime

Lamps
(Option)
Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL)
make it easier 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.
To idle your vehicle
with
the
DRL
off, set the parking
brake while the ignition
is
in
the
OFF
or
LOCK
position. Then start the vehicle. The DRL will stay
off
until
you release the parking brake.
As
with
any vehicle,
you
should turn
on
rne regular
headlamp system any time
you
need
it.
A
light sensor
in
the instrument panel cluster makes
the
DRL work,
so
be sure
it
isn’t covered.
The
DRL
system will make your headlamp low beams
come on at reduced brightness when:
0
the ignition is on,
0
the
headlamp switch is
off,
and
0
the parking brake is released.
When
the
DRL
are on,
only
your front headlamp
low
beams will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other
lamps
won’t be on. Your instrument panel won’t be
lit
up either.
When it’s dark enough outside, your headlamps will
come
on
to
full
brightness. The other lamps that come
on with your headlamps will also come on.
When
it’s
bright enough outside, the regular lamps
will
go
off,
and your headlamp low beams will come on at
a
reduced brightness.

Press the switch to turn the
map lamp
on
