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 PARK (P) if you have an automatic transmission. |
| • | The light sensor determines it is daytime. |
When the DRL are on, only the parking lamps or reduced intensity low beam headlamps will be on. The taillamps, sidemarkers, and other lamps will not be on. The instrument panel will not be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps will automatically switch from DRL to the regular headlamps.
The regular headlamp system should be turned on when needed.
