Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.

The DRL system makes the headlamps come on at a reduced brightness when the following conditions are met:

When the DRL are on, the taillamps, sidemarker, instrument panel and other lamps will not be on.

The headlamps automatically switch from DRL to the regular headlamps depending on the darkness of the surroundings. See "Automatic headlamp system" following.

To turn off the DRL lamps, turn the exterior lamps control to and then release. For vehicles first sold in Canada, the DRL lamps cannot be turned off.
