For 1990-2009 cars only
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 will come on when the following conditions are met:
| • | The ignition is on. |
| • | The exterior lamps control is in AUTO. |
| • | The transmission is not in P (Park). |
| • | The light sensor determines it is daytime. |
When the DRL are on, only the DRL lamps will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker, instrument panel lights, and other lamps will not be on.
When it begins to get dark, the automatic headlamp system will switch from DRL to the headlamps.
To turn off the DRL lamps, turn the exterior lamps control to the OFF position and then release. For vehicles first sold in Canada, the transmission must be in the P (Park) position, before the DRL lamps can be turned off.
