When the DRL are on, only your DRL lamps will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won't be on. The instrument panel won't be lit up either. When it begins to get dark, the automatic headlamp system will switch from DRL to the headlamps or the last chosen headlamp setting that was used. When you turn the headlamp knob to off, the headlamps will go off, and your DRL lamps will illuminate, provided it is not dark outside. To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking brake. Shifting the transmission into PARK (P) will also allow you to idle the vehicle with the DRL off. The DRL will stay off until you release the parking brake or shift the transmission out of PARK (P). This procedure applies only to vehicles first sold in the United States. When necessary, you may turn off the Automatic Headlamp System and the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) feature by following these steps. When the system is turned off, the headlights will not automatically come on when it becomes dark outside. 1. With the ignition in RUN. 2.

The system will revert back to the automatic mode when the DOME OVERRIDE button is again pressed four times within six seconds (a chime will sound), or when the ignition is turned off and on again. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. 2-40
