If your vehicle was first sold, when new, in the United States, your vehicle may be equipped with DRL. If your vehicle has DRL, you will see the the DRL indicator light on your instrument panel and your low-beam headlamps will come on at reduced brightness. When the DRL are on, only your headlamps will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won't be on. Your instrument panel won't be lit up either. When it begins to get dark, your DRL indicator light is a reminder to turn your headlamp switch on. The other lamps that come on with your headlamps will also come on. When you turn off the headlamp switch, the regular lamps will go off, and your headlamps will change to the reduced brightness of DRL. To idle your vehicle with the engine on and the DRL off, set the parking brake. The DRL will stay off until you release the parking brake. )ome Lamps The dome lamps will come on when you open the doors.
