Instrument Panel 3-13 Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada. The DRL system makes the low-beam headlamps come on in daylight when the following conditions are met: When the DRL are on, the low-beam headlamps will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker, instrument panel lights and other lamps will not be on. When the exterior lamp band is turned to the headlamp position, the regular headlamps will come on. The other lamps that come on with the headlamps will also come on. When the headlamps are turned off, the regular lamps also turn off, and the low-beam headlamps turn on. The regular headlamp system should be used when needed. Automatic Headlamp System When it is dark enough outside, the headlamps come on automatically. • The engine is running, • The exterior lamp band is in AUTO, and • The light sensor determines it is daytime. There is a light sensor located on top of the instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor or the headlamps will come on when they are not needed. The system may also turn on the headlamps when driving through a parking garage or tunnel.
