Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Indicator Light
If
your vehicle was
first sold, when new,
in Canada,
you
will
have
this light on the
instrument panel.
It
goes
on
whenever the Daytime Running Lamps are
on.
When
it
begins to get dark, the DRL indicator light
is
a
reminder
to
turn on
your headlamps.
Daytime Running Lamps
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.
The DRL system will make your high-beam headlamps come
on
at a
reduced brightness when:
The ignition is on,
The
headlamp switch is off, and
The parking brake
is
released.
When the DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps will be
on.
The
taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won’t
be on. Your instrument panel
won’t be
lit
up
either.
When it begins to get dark, your DRL indicator light is
a
reminder to
turn
your
headlamp switch on. The other lamps that come on with your
headlamps will also come
on.
When
you
turn the headlamp switch off, the regular lamps will go
off,
and
your high-beam headlamps
will
change
to
the reduced brightness of DRL.
To
idle your vehicle with the DRL
off,
set
the
parking brake. The DRL 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.
