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.
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:
0
The ignition is on,
The headlamp switch is
off
and
0
The parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your your front turn signal
lamps will be on. The headlamps, 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 front turn signal
lamps will turn off and your vehicle’s headlamps and
parklamps will turn on. The other lamps that come on
with your headlamps will also come on.
When it’s bright enough outside, your headlamps will go
off
and your front turn signal lamps will come on.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake while the ignition is in
OFF
or
LOCK.
Then start
your vehicle. The DRL, headlamps and parklamps will
stay off
until
you
release the parking brake.
As
with any vehicle,
you
should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need
it.
