Daytime Runninglights (CANADA ONLY) The Canadian federal government has decided that Daytime Running Lights (DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL can make your vehiclemore visible to pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. DRL are required on new vehicles sold in Canada. Your DRL work with alight sensor on top of the instrument panel. Don't cover it up. The high beam headlightswill come on at reduced brightness in daylight when: The ignition is on The headlight switch is off, and The parking brake is released on a manual transaxle; or The shift lever is shifted out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) on an automatic transaxle. At dusk, the exterior lights and headlights will come on automatically. At dawn, the exterior lights will go out and the high beams willchange to the reduced brightness of DRL again (if the headlight switchis off). Of course, you may still turn on the headlights any time you need to. To idle your vehicle withthe DRL off, set the parking brakeon a manual transaxle or put the vehicle in P (Park) or N (Neutral) on an automatic transaxle, while the ignition is in the Off or Lock position. Then start the vehicle. The DRL will stay off until you release the parking brake on a manual transaxle or shift out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) on an automatic transaxle. 75
