Your vehicle is equipped with Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) and an Automatic Headlamp

transmission is in PARK (P) and the engine is at idle. If the engine
is not turned off, the DRL and AHS will remain OFF when the transmission is placed
in gear. The vehicle may be driven with the lamps off for one ignition cycle.
