Daytime Running Lamps (Canada Only) Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier to see the front of your vehicle duringthe 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. A light sensoron top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be sure it isn't covered. The DRL system will make your low beam headlamps come on at reduced brightness in daylight when: The ignition is ON, The headlamp switch is OFF, and The transaxle is not in PARK (P). When the DRL are on, only your low beam headlamps will be on. The parking lamps, taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won't be on. Your instrument panel won't be lit up either. When it's dark enough outside, your low beam headlamps will change to full brightness. The other lamps that come on with your headlamps will also come on. When it's bright enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and your low beam headlamps change to the reduced brightness of DRL. At night, you can turn off all exterior lamps when you are in PARK (P) by moving the Twilight Sentinel control all the way to OFF. If it was off, move the control to the right to turn it on, then back off. The lamps will come back on when you put the transaxle in gear. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. 2-41
