Daytime running lights (DRL) (Canadian vehicles only) The DRL system turns the headlamps on, with a reduced light output, when: • the ignition is in the on position and • the headlamp is in the off position. Always remember to turn on your headlamps at dusk or during inclement weather. The Daytime Running Lights (DRL) system may not provide adequate lighting output during these conditions. Failure to activate your headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision. Panel dimmer control Adjust the control to vary the intensity of the panel lighting. Operates only when the exterior lights are switched on. 25
