When the exterior lamp control is in AUTO and it is
dark enough outside, the DRL will turn off and the
low-beam headlamps will turn on. When it is bright
enough outside, the low-beam headlamps will go
off, and the DRL will turn back on. If you start the
vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp
system will come on immediately. Once you leave
the garage, it will take about one minute for the
automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it
is light outside. During that delay, the instrument
panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make
sure the instrument panel brightness lever is in the
full bright position. See Instrument Panel Brightness
on page 181.
To drive the vehicle with the DRL off, turn the
exterior lamp control off. Then turn on the
fog lamps or parking lamps, and the DRL will turn
off. This will work regardless of gear position
and whether or not the parking brake is set.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Light Sensor
The light sensor for the DRL and AUTO headlamp
feature is located on top of the instrument panel.
If you cover the sensor, it will prevent it from
sensing light, and the exterior lamps may come on
whenever the ignition is on.
