Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
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.
Your vehicle has a light sensor on top of the instrument
panel that helps control the DRL. Make sure it is not
covered or the headlamps will come on when they are
not needed.
The DRL system makes both low beam headlamps turn
on at reduced intensity when the following conditions
are met:
• The ignition is on.
• The exterior lamp control is turned to AUTO.
• The light sensor detects daytime light.
• The shift lever is not in PARK (P).
While the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, and instrument panel lights will not be on.
The DRL system turns off on U.S. vehicles by using the
on/off switch for one ignition cycle, if the vehicle is in
the PARK (P) position, or if the vehicle speed is
less than 5 mph (8 km/h) after the vehicle is started.
For vehicles first sold in Canada the DRL system will
turn off when a automatic transmission vehicle is in the
PARK (P) position or the park brake is set on a
manual transmission vehicle and the vehicle speed is
less than 8 mph (13 km/h).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when it is needed.
Fog Lamps
The fog lamp button is
located on the instrument
panel, to the left of the
steering wheel.
The ignition must be on to turn the fog lamps on.
Push the button to turn the fog lamps on and off.
An indicator light on the instrument panel cluster will
come on when the fog lamps are on.
The parking lamps will automatically turn on and off
when the fog lamps are turned on and off.
